Music will return to the Fort Worth Botanic Garden via a new family-friendly series combining live performances, food truck fare, and of course beautiful gardens.

Called Blooms & Beats, it's a new series of enchanted evenings taking place once-a-month at the Garden on the second Friday night of each month from March through May.

The live music performances will feature local artists, with food from Fort Worth's favorite food trucks as well as a selection of adult beverages under the stars.

The schedule is as follows:

March 14, 6:30-8:30 pm

• Music: The Seven6 Band
• Food Trucks: Gordo’s Mexican Cantina & Mission Burgers

April 11, 6:30-8:30 pm

• Music: Jimmy Barcus and His Rockabilly Band
• Food Trucks: Leo’s Churro Bar & Smackin Mac Gourmet Mac and Cheese Bowls

May 9 6:30-8:30 pm

• Music: Dalton Torres
• Food Trucks: Monkeyshine’s Smashburgers & Mama Lama

Tickets are $15 for adults, and $6 for 15 and under. For FWBG Members, it's $10 for adults and kids are free. Tickets can be purchased online at fwbg.org.

The series will surely represent a welcome interim tide-you-over for those missing the Concerts in the Garden summer picnic concert series which went on hiatus in 2024, when the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra pressed pause while awaiting the completion of an outdoor stage at the Botanic Garden.

This year, for the second year in a row, the FWSO will host the alternative Mercedes T. Bass Sounds of the Summer Series, featuring several "Night of Strings" concerts at the Botanic Garden Lecture Hall and a variety of free community concerts at other local venues, including an outdoor concert on the lawn at The Carter.

According to FWSO president and CEO Keith Cerny, this is likely to remain in a holding pattern "until summer 2027 or 2028," when the Fort Worth Botanic Garden's purpose-built stage is anticipated to be finished.

Blooms & Beats will take place in FWBG's Horseshoe Garden, which can be accessed from the Garden’s West Entrance located at the University and I-30 access road.
