Welcome in fall at the Friends of the U.S. Botanic Garden’s annual Harvest Party! Spend the evening enjoying fall foliage and live music in the outdoor gardens and exploring the Conservatory with autumn-inspired garden-fresh culinary bites and sweet treats! Celebrate the changing season in this special after-hours event with drinks featuring local beers, wines from District Winery, and samples from Republic Restoratives in addition to an apple crisp mocktail and other soft drinks.

And it wouldn’t be a harvest party without a plethora of bites to choose from! Savor passed hors d'oeuvres including caramelized pear-and-arugula tarts and vegan quinoa-and-beet sliders in addition to a display of charcuterie, international cheese, dried fruits, rustic breads, dips, and more. For dessert, jump right into fall with mini apple galettes, s'mores tacos, and pumpkin cheesecake squares. All food and beverages are included in your ticket.
