Great Garden Escape

Event Dates & Times

Thursday Evenings in the Garden

July 2 – Aug 14, 6 pm-9 pm.

August 20 – Sept 3, 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm.

Great Garden Escape concert series features upbeat music, dancing, and friends.

We’ve partnered with the folks behind Duck Club Presents and Treefort Music Fest to bring you a diverse, rockin’ lineup for The Great Garden Escape this summer!

In order to responsibly hold this event there will be a limited number of tickets being offered to each concert – buy your tickets in advance to ensure your admission!

Bring your own low-back chairs or blanket. At this time, we will not have vendors at this event. Visitors are welcome to bring in their own food and beverages.

Please be mindful of other guests and practice social-distancing at all times – if you wish to dance please stay on your picnic blanket, there will be no “dance floor”. Face masks are not required when sitting at your blanket but we ask that you wear them when not seated or interacting with IBG staff.  

Please help us keep the garden clean by packing in and packing out your picnic!

Seating is limited in the Meditation Garden. You may be asked to sit in another area to avoid congestion. Arrive early to ensure you have a view of the stage. In order to keep guests safe and to maintain social-distancing we encourage you to explore our many acres and spread out into the various garden spaces. 

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we navigate these uncertain times. The purchase of a Great Garden Escape ticket helps to support our Garden programs and operations.
