JAZZ IN JULY AT BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN

Enjoy enchanting evenings at the Garden with live jazz, art tours, and refreshments

 Every Thursday in July beginning July 11—all free with Garden admission

Brooklyn, NY - Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG) invites visitors to attend Jazz in July, a special concert series celebrating BBG’s summer exhibition Natural Attractions: A Plant-Pollinator Love Story. Jazz in July takes place every Thursday in July, beginning July 11, and includes live jazz performances from local musicians, art tours and interactive workshops, and a pop-up bar serving beer, wine, ice cream, and snacks. Activities will kick off at 6 p.m. with performances starting at 7 p.m. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable fusion of music and nature! Jazz in July is free with Garden admission, which can be purchased at bbg.org.

Jazz in July is a part of Natural Attractions: A Plant-Pollinator Love Story, an exhibition and program series through October that aims to inspire a new way of seeing and appreciating the necessity of plants – and insects - to encourage visitors to actively help protect pollination through thoughtful gardening strategies and plant choices. Through exhibits and public programs, Natural Attractions offers a call to action to New Yorkers to protect pollinators, whose survival is inextricably linked to reversing climate change and making the planet a safer, and more beautiful place for us to live.
