Celebrate the longest day of the year with us at Crystal Springs!

The garden will stay open late until 9:15 pm (last admission 8:30 pm), allowing guests to experience the garden at twilight (sunset is at 9:03 pm).

General Admission will be charged during these hours ($5 for guests 11 and up).

Friends annual passholders are admitted free.

As part of this special evening, we’re welcoming bluegrass duo Whiskey Deaf to perform in the garden from 7:00 - 8:30 pm.

You may bring a blanket, lawn chairs, and/or a light picnic if you wish - please limit your items to a single trip from your vehicle (what you can carry in with you upon arrival). Leave alcohol at home.

ABOUT WHISKEY DEAF

Annie Staninec and John Kael are a Portland, Oregon duet with a passion for traditional bluegrass, old time and early country songs (and a few related oddball numbers), and their highly entertaining and occasionally very silly shows prominently feature Annie's fiery fiddling and winning smile.

Annie is a uniquely gifted fiddler, and brings a joyful exuberance to every performance. She's been playing the fiddle since the age of 4, has won multiple awards, is fluent across many genres (bluegrass, old-time, gypsy swing, Irish, Cajun, zydeco, folk, country and rock n'roll), and has recorded and performed with everyone from Peter Rowan to John Reischman to Mary Gauthier to Rod Stewart. John plays guitar, banjo and mandolin equally deftly, has a repertoire of literally hundreds of traditional songs, and is an award-winning songwriter.

Both Annie and John play multiple instruments, have a deep knowledge of traditional music, and have enjoyed performing and teaching together for nearly 15 years. This will be a fun evening of music
