As our days shorten once again, we say goodbye to those summer nights that will soon glimmer with nostalgia. Don’t miss out on the last Sunset Wednesday performance and Summer Friday at the gardens. Listen to a new melody with a loved one, dance with a stranger, gaze upon the stars, and bask in the ease of Wave Hill as the season sighs and starts a new chapter.

Garden Highlights Walk
Join a knowledgeable Wave Hill Garden Guide for a leisurely stroll in the gardens. Topics vary by season and the expertise of the Guide; each walk varies with the Guide leading it.
Art
Public Gallery Tour
Solo and group exhibitions at Glyndor Gallery explore the dynamic relationships between nature, culture, and site. Visitors can expect an in-depth look at artworks on view, showcasing the work of both emerging and established artists in the unique context of a public garden.
Sunset Wednesdays: Djékady Trio
Djékady is a Mandinka phrase that means “coming together is good.” The result of the collaboration between Grammy-winning musicians Balla Kouyaté (balafon, vocals) and Mike Block (cello, vocals), along with IdrissaKoné (percussion, vocals), Djékady Trio puts Malian music into conversation with American folk and contemporary styles.
