Food and drink will be available for purchase at this joint fundraiser for FBG and the LCSO.
“We cannot wait to perform again at Friendship Gardens,” said LCSO Executive Director, Tim King. “The Pavilion is exactly the right kind of venue for a summer performance. We really enjoyed the experience there last summer and look forward to a continued relationship with Friendship Gardens.”

General admission for adults is $50; 17 and under are free. Gates open at 6:00 p.m. with music starting promptly at 7:00 p.m.
This is the second LCSO concert at Friendship Botanic Gardens.
“We couldn’t be happier that the La Porte County Symphony is joining us again this year for a continual concert series,” said FBG Board President, John Leinweber. The LCSO’s quality and dedication to symphonic music is beyond exceptional.”
Chairs will be available for use in the Celebration Meadow; however, guests are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets. No outside food or drink allowed in the venue.
