One good reason to hop aboard the passenger ferry to Victoria this summer is to visit Butchart Gardens. Each summer, Victoria’s Butchart Gardens has live music every night of the week at the Concert Lawn Stage. Folks are encouraged to bring a blanket and relax, or bring dancing shoes and dance. There are always children enjoying music on the lawn, so don’t feel that you have to leave yours at home. Music starts at 7:30 pm, Sunday through Friday evenings.
Saturday evenings, picnics are available at Butchart Gardens (be sure to order one early), and folks settle down to listen to the music at 6:15 pm. Every Saturday night from July 4 until September 5 the live music is followed by spectacular fireworks. These fireworks rival the best, anywhere. After the skies clear and there is a moment or two of quiet, lovely music from a rare Aeolian Pipe Organ floats out of the Organ Pavilion, filling your ears.
The WEEDS rock Butchart Gardens August 21, 22
August 21 and 22, 2009, plan to listen to the locally grown classic rock of The WEEDS at Butchart Gardens. Don’t worry, these weeds won’t try to choke out the lovely heirloom roses currently in bloom. These Weeds will rock those roses. This is the perfect excuse to take the ferry from Port Angeles WA to Victoria BC for a night or two on lovely Vancouver Island. Remember that Saturday, August 22, The WEEDS will play before the fireworks – a pyrotechnique spectacular!!!
So come take in the beauty of The Gardens and listen to the locally grown classic rock sounds of The WEEDS.
