Community Events

Throughout the year, Rotary Botanical Gardens hosts a wide variety of community events designed to connect people of all ages with nature and each other. From seasonal favorites like Earth Day Celebration, Sounds of Summer Music Series, and the Holiday Light Show our events bring the beauty of the Gardens to life in engaging and memorable ways.

Whether you’re here to shop the plant sales, celebrate the holidays, or enjoy family-friendly activities, our events offer something for everyone.
