Music in the Gardens is back at 577 this summer. Beginning June 13, the gardens come alive with live music on the second Saturday of each month, June through September, offering a relaxed soundtrack for a day spent outdoors. Wander the paths, pause under the trees, or settle in for a bit as music becomes part of the backdrop to your visit.
These concerts are free, family-friendly, and take place rain or shine, inviting the community to slow down and enjoy 577 in a different way. Experience the beauty of the gardens and Virginia’s House beyond classes and meetings, with space to listen, explore, and spend time together in a creative, welcoming setting.

Each Saturday, visitors can also stop by the Green Door Studio between 11am and 4pm for a free make-and-take art activity inspired by Artist Trading Cards (ATCs). Using paints, collage materials, and drawing tools, participants can create their own miniature works of art. Originally developed in the 1990s to encourage creativity, connection, and the exchange of art, ATCs are designed to be traded rather than sold.
577 is also excited to share that we have partnered with the Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities to offer our visitors access to a mobile universal changing unit during the event on Saturday, June 13. Universal changing units are designed to accommodate adults and children with disabilities, along with their caregivers. They are equipped with the items necessary to provide individuals with mobility limitations a safe, clean, and dignified place for personal care. “Universal” means that these units can be used by anyone who needs a table for hygiene care, including infants and toddlers. At 577, we are always looking for ways to meet the diverse needs of our visitors and enhance the experience of all who choose to spend the day with us. Many thanks to the Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities for their work to support children and adults with developmental disabilities in our community!
Special thanks to Hartmann • Bogan Financial Planning for sponsoring Music in the Gardens 2026. Their generous support helps make this free, family-friendly series possible for our community to enjoy all season long.
