The days are getting warmer and the evenings longer. Summer will be here before we know it, as will the annual Concerts in the Garden series.

Catch live music under the stars at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden every weekend from May 26 to June 11.

Note: Due to last year’s scorching temperatures, the summer series has been moved up to May and June — rather than June and July — for the protection of both musicians and concertgoers. The fireworks show has also been replaced with a nightly drone show due to drought precautions and city ordinances.

Here’s what you can look forward to in the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra’s summer concert series.
Ticket sales are open, so grab yours now + don’t forget to check the list of FAQs for permitted items. Pro tip: pack your bug spray.
