Summer Breeze Block Party

Olbrich Botanical Gardens and Garver Events are teaming up to throw a Summer Breeze block party! Join us for two nights filled with pop-up artmaking activities, classic lawn games, dance parties, and local food cart fare. Sugar Ave, the bike/pedestrian pathway linking the Gardens to Garver, will transform to a free neighborhood block party vibe featuring picnic tables, a variety of food carts, and live music hosted by Garver. Grab a bite, enjoy some live music, and then head into Olbrich Gardens to continue the party!

Support your public garden along with the featured local artists/musicians by paying a nominal admission fee at the Gardens’ entrance – then sip on a cocktail/mocktail as you stroll the Gardens with your sweetheart, play a round of bocce or badminton, encounter pop-up performers, and create botanically based art. The evening concludes with a curated story slam on the Great Lawn surrounded by the lush beauty of the Gardens. Come up soak up the sun, feel the warm summer breeze, and make some memories!
