Peonies bloom at the Georgeson Botanical Garden in 2021. The garden will host live music on Thursdays throughout the summer.
The University of Alaska Fairbanks Music in the Garden concert series will kick off on May 26 at the Georgeson Botanical Garden, offering 12 weeks of family-friendly performances throughout the summer.
The series, which is organized by the University of Alaska Fairbanks Summer Sessions and Lifelong Learning, will be held at 7 p.m. Thursdays through Aug. 11. Concerts are free, but donations to support the botanical garden are welcome.
This year the concerts also will include welcoming bands at 5:30 p.m. as people settle in for the concerts. Because parking is limited, attendees are encouraged to use a free shuttle that departs from the Nenana Parking Lot, which is across from the Patty Center, beginning at 6 p.m.
