Sounds of a Summer Night Concerts Continue at Reeves-Reed Arboretum

originally published: 08/04/2022

(SUMMIT, NJ) -- Summer concerts are in full swing at Reeves-Reed Arboretum in Summit, NJ! The Ryan Hernandez Jazz Quartet and The Suyat Band performed in June and July. Upcoming August performances include CC & The Boys on August 10 and Sahara Moon on August 24.

CC & The Boys will bring the Grand Ole Opry to Reeves-Reed Arboretum with their old-school country and southern blues charm (with a twist). So, get your boots on and be ready to dance!

Sahara Moon will serenade you in the Arboretum’s garden with her silvery song and indie flair.  The singer-songwriter, inspired by artists Norah Jones and Brandi Carlile, incorporates a mix of folk, jazz, blues and vulnerability within her lyrics and guitar techniques.  With special guest, Zinnia Moon, the "Moon Sisters" will be sure to enchant you on this summer night under the stars. 

Concertgoers are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets and arrive at 6:00pm to enjoy the gardens and picnic before the concerts begin at 7:00pm. All performances are rain or shine and will move indoors if there is inclement weather. Reeves-Reed Arboretum members and children under 3 are free. The cost for non-members is $15 and $5 for students. Reeves-Reed Arboretum is located at 165 Hobart Avenue in Summit, New Jersey.

Celebrating over 40 years as a historic public garden and education resource, Reeves-Reed Arboretum engages, educates, and enriches the public through horticulture and environmental education, and the care and utilization of the gardens and estate. Open 7 days a week, the Arboretum is listed on both the National and New Jersey State Historic Registers. Funding for RRA has been made possible in part by the NJ Historical Commission, a division of the Department of State, through a grant administered by the Union County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, Dept. of Parks & Community Renewal. Reeves-Reed Arboretum....a place to grow, for everyone!
