Relax into summer with a two-weekend program featuring some of the best bands in the nation’s capital. As the sun goes down over the Gardens, the concerts are a popular way to enjoy the summer holidays in Canberra with outdoor picnicking, live music, socialising and dancing – all within a beautiful landscape of Australia's largest collection of native plants.

The 2017 concerts will be on two weekends: Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 January followed by Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 of February - click below for details of performers. We also need volunteers to help on each day.
