This year's lineup features 8 musical acts:
3pm Sisterbot
4pm 2w33dy
5pm Babydoll
6pm Hadiza.
7pm Kissin
8pm Christina Silvius
9pm Coloratura
10pm Snow Goose
Guests can enjoy 10-minute yoga flows with Charenee from New Moon Wellness (don't forget your yoga mat!), explore the grounds with a garden passport scavenger hunt, bundle fresh heros, collect a DIY snack directly from the garden, look to the sky with telescope time and stargazing once the sun sets, and more.
Special thanks to Zan Bondi and all of the Manheim Garden volunteers for their time, efforts, and collaboration!
No tickets required - just bring your curiosity, a water bottle, snacks if you'd like them, and something to sit on.
