Noche Latina

From May 6 through September 16, the Garden extends its hours Wednesday evenings until 8:00 p.m for Acoustic Sunsets. Each evening features live music by Bay Area musicians in our outdoor amphitheater from 5:30–7:30 p.m. Guests are invited to bring picnics and well-behaved dogs on leash, and enjoy wine tastings from local vintners.

New this year, monthly Noche Latina nights celebrate Latin music and culture alongside the special exhibition Spirit Guides: Fantastical Creatures from the Workshop of Jacobo and María Ángeles, featuring monumental, brightly colored sculptures inspired by the Zapotec calendar on view throughout the Garden until September 7.

These lively evenings, showcasing top Latin bands from across the Bay Area, invite you to gather, unwind, and enjoy live music in a beautiful outdoor setting.

Acoustic Sunsets and Noche Latina are free for Sonoma Botanical Garden members (not included in AHS reciprocal admission) and included with general admission for non-members.
