Support Music in the Garden!

Music in the Garden costs Summer Sessions & Lifelong Learning over $25,000 each year, and we need your financial support for the 2026 season. While these concerts are free to attend, they are not free to produce. Any contribution, large or small, helps ensure this beloved summer tradition can continue. 

This year, we are asking you to become patrons of the arts. Anyone who gives $250 or more becomes a patron of the 2026 Music in the Garden season. Patrons receive a season pass to all 13 FREE concerts as a thank-you for their support (consider it a tongue-in-cheek thank-you and a great conversation starter!). If $250 isn't possible, any amount is welcome, and you will still be celebrated as a concert groupie. All donations are welcome and tax-deductible.
