The ninety-six-acre Memphis Botanical Garden features twenty-three specialty gardens that are sure to spark the interest of any nature lover, but this exquisite garden has also become one of the country’s most successful outdoor entertainment venues. Live at the Garden is a summer concert series where world-renowned artists, ranging from Earth, Wind, and Fire to Tony Bennett, have performed.
The area in front of the outdoor stage fills up with 2,500 people seated at tables with white linen cloths, and another 4,000 attendees spread across the rest of the lawn, bringing their own chairs and picnic blankets. Where else can you enjoy a star-studded concert surrounded by beautiful gardens for just $45 on the lawn and $69 for a table? Picnics are allowed, so bring some local barbecue for a Memphis night to remember.
