Wave Hill Weekly Events (Jul 2 – Jul 9) | Sip Some Tea & Stay for a While!

 

If you haven't caught it yet, Sunset Wednesdays are back at Wave Hill! The gardens are the perfect place to slow down and find yourself surrounded by dreamlike scenery, where the sounds of live music drift through the trees and the sun sets over the Hudson River. Spend the week reconnecting with nature, becoming inspired through crafts or simply sit for Afternoon Tea before joining us on the Great Lawn for an unforgettable evening with the Jenn Jade 5tet. This summer, let Wave Hill be your place to pause, recharge, and savor the beauty of the season.
