Thank you to Botanica, The Wichita Gardens for sponsoring this post and providing fun, family-friendly entertainment in the heart of Wichita!


Tuesdays on the Terrace is back this year with a line-up you won’t want to miss! This is one of our favorite summertime events, and we invite the Wichita community to join us every Tuesday, June through September from 6-8pm!

Fun For All Ages

With the kids out of school, Tuesdays are great for spending time with the family. At Tuesdays on the Terrace, parents and children can enjoy listening and dancing to live music from different bands each week. Food and drinks will be available, as well as access to our gardens. This is a great time to stroll through our gardens, while the sun goes down and the weather cools off a bit. Our Downing Children’s Garden is the perfect area to enjoy and discover our natural world. Enjoy educational and entertaining themed areas, such as the musical maze or monster trees that have come to life!

On the other hand, this event is also great for a girls night out, date night or even an after work party. Mix things up with live music, happy hour and horticulture. Guests get to enjoy a cash bar with cocktails, beers, wine and non-alcoholic beverages provided by The Bar’s Open from 6-8 p.m., and view the garden throughout the evening.
