Hot Summer Nights Music Series
Thursdays, June 11 – September 3, 6 to 8 p.m.
Take the trolley to Hot Summer Nights.
On Hot Summer Nights, unwind and learn a new move or two! Professional dance instructors will be on hand to provide visitors with easy-to-understand mini-lessons that will correspond with the genre of the evening.
Shimmy up to refreshment tables to purchase light fare and beverages (including beer, wine, and margaritas) reflecting the evening's culture. On concert nights only, you may enjoy a picnic on the Esplanade.
Regular parking fees apply for nonmembers.
