Wave Hill is stepping into August with a celebration of art, music, and evening experiences you won't forget! Join in on the final Sunset Wednesday of the season for a fusion of genres and energetic dances, bringing the community together while the sun dips below the palisades and closes out the night. Don't miss our last Evening Nature Encounter for a chance to walk the grounds after hours to admire the sea of stars and connect the dots of constellations above. Our gardens are not just an haven to find peace, but a tiny world in the pocket of the city, a place to explore from morning to night!
Sunset Wednesdays 2025
Wave Hill’s annual summer tradition is back, bringing five exciting performances Wednesday evenings to our Great Lawn! Pack a picnic and bring your favorite blanket or chair for an unforgettable summer evening as the sun sets over the Hudson. Delectable food and drinks also available for purchase. Premium admission is in effect from 4PM to 8PM each Sunset Wednesday.
