Continuing a decades-long tradition, the Summer Concert Series features a wide variety of musicians performing in the spectacular setting of the Gardens’ York Street location. World-class musicians perform in the UMB Ampitheater in the heart of Denver Botanic Gardens and concertgoers can wander through gardens between acts for a summer concert evening like no other.

Tickets must be purchased in advance, and membership pre-sale is March 11-13, depending upon membership level. Public ticket sales start March 16.
