Wave Hill Weekly Events (Aug 21 – Aug 28) | Savor the Season's Final Moments at Wave Hill

 

The summer sun and balmy nights seem endless until the tail end of August creeps up on us. In this bittersweet moment of the season, find some shade under a tree and tuck away memories in the gaps of sunlight that flitter through the leaves. Wave Hill is the perfect place to bring your loved ones and enjoy the meaningful moments you’ve had together. Reflect on the moments of laughter with family, the strangers that became dear friends, and our communities that encouraged us to blossom. Press pause on life and find solace in the lingering warmth of summer and the serene gardens.
