The event will happen each week, rain or shine, so be prepared to dance in the rain, or bring a blanket and a picnic basket and some lawn chairs. The fun will be waiting for you; however you want to experience it right in front of the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory. If you don't feel like bringing your own food, you sure don't have to, as there will be food and beverages available to purchase on site.
