Enjoy an unforgettable evening filled with jazz, blues, and everything in between, performed by some of Central Florida's finest bands. Pack a dinner picnic with your favorite foods and bring seating as you take in the music of the night. The three bands will be in three locations in the 50-acre gardens. Bring chairs or blanket and sit wherever you like on any lawn area or find a nice spot in a gazebo. Stroll around to hear the bands and see the gardens.
