Summer Solstice Celebration
Friday, June 26, 2026
Celebrate the longest days of the year among the old stone walls and beautiful blooms at Knoxville Botanical Garden & Arboretum.
This summer celebration begins with cocktails and jazz on the terrace followed by a seasonal supper served by the Garden Board of Directors in the Dogwood Center. Guests will return to the terrace to enjoy dessert and toast to the setting sun.
All proceeds from the celebration provide crucial support for the Garden which depends on donors and fundraising events for 85% of our funding. This beloved community treasure is a nonprofit, historic garden situated on 44-acres just moments from the heart of downtown Knoxville. Your generosity makes it possible for us to preserve a horticulture legacy, steward 16 historic structures, and provide an ever-evolving ecosystem of beauty, learning, and respite. Donors like you also enable this place remain free and open to the public from dawn to dusk 365 days a year.
Come celebrate the light with us.
