Watch the sunset, and unwind with live music on the Esplanade. You are encouraged to bring your own chairs, as the Garden has a limited supply. Picnicking is welcome during evening concerts, or stop by one of our dining locations to grab a bite and some drinks. Classical Blast performs classic rock music melded with famed classical music… all on classical & rock instruments. Their signature summer show features classic rock music from the late ’60s to current hits, all mashed with music by the great composers: Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Mozart, Chopin, and others. Make no mistake, this show ROCKS!
