Sunset Series: An Outdoor Concert Series at South Coast Botanic Garden at South Coast Botanic Garden

Join us for the second season of our Sunset Series, a weekly event that transforms the South Coast Botanic Garden on Thursdays after hours. Following the overwhelming success of last year's sold-out series, the Sunset Series is back and better than ever! Explore our expansive 87-acre garden or unwind at Dottie's, our newly introduced food and beverage concessions station near the Living Wall. Savor a refreshing cocktail or indulge in delectable bites while immersing yourself in the Garden's breathtaking scenery, accompanied by yard games and live music. For our young visitors, the Kids' Zone promises endless entertainment with the lively and spirited Ms. Allison. Think parachute games, obstacle courses, lawn bowling, bubbles, and more! While we provide the fun, we kindly ask parents to supervise their children.* And of course, the highlight of each week is the captivating musical performance (see lineup below). The talented musicians will treat you to two delightful 45-minute sets, adding a melodic ambiance to your evening at the Sunset Series.
