Memphis, TN – Memphis Botanic Garden (MBG) is thrilled to announce the return of one of the city’s most beloved outdoor traditions, the Food Truck Garden Party series!

Mark your calendars for May 14, June 11, September 10, and October 8, from 5 to 8 pm, when the Garden comes alive with the sights, sounds, and tastes of summer and fall.

Guests are invited to enjoy a relaxed evening on the Great Lawn, where a rotating lineup of local food trucks, live music, lawn games, and a cash bar create the perfect midweek scape. The event is free with Garden admission, and no registration is necessary. Best of all, dogs are welcome, so bring your pup along for the fun!

“We’re so excited to welcome the community back for another season of the Food Truck Garden Party,” said Gina Harris, Director of Education & Events at MBG. “The Garden is the perfect spot for patio season—whether you’re coming with friends, family, or even just your dog and a picnic blanket. There’s something for everyone: live music, amazing local eats, and 96 acres to explore as the sun goes down.”
