Music, Fireworks, and a Picnic in Fort Worth’s Botanic Gardens

by Mary Jo Manzanares on June 2nd, 2007

Concerts in the Garden Ft WorthThe Fort Worth Symphony has made it easy for your to enjoy some great music in a beautiful setting with its annual Concerts in the Garden at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden. And there are fireworks after every concert.

The concerts begin June 1st, and run through July 7th, and feature the Symphony in a variety of programming and a few other performers. A quick scan down the list of concerts, and I’ve already found the one that I want to see — Tango Tango! on June 30th. It’s billed as an exploration of the rich variety of beautiful music from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Peru and more plus Nuevo Tango featuring the extraordinary Argentinean violinist Alejandro Drago. Sounds terrific!

The Garden Grounds open at 6:30 pm on Concert days, and the concerts begin at 8 pm. The Garden Restaurant can provide you with a picnic, or you can bring in your own picnic. City Club Catering can also provide you with a gourmet box lunch or picnic basket, and have it ready for you to pick up when you arrive at the Garden. Prices start at around $6, and a kids menu is also available. Tickets are required for every person for table seating, regardless of age.

Tickets are available online, and start at $22/adults for an advance-purchase, reserved table seat, and starting at $25 day of performance. General admission lawn passes are $15 in advance and $18 day of. Children 10 and under are free in the lawn area and do not require a ticket. Check out the seating map here. Parking at Farrington Athletic Field parking lot is available for $5; a free shuttle will take you right to The Gardens entry gate. Self park is available at The Gardens for $10. VIP and Valet parking is available for $20.

Thanks, Ray, for letting me know about this concert series. It sounds like a great way to spend a summer evening, and I wish I was going to be in town for one of them.
