Groove in the Garden with Innocent Reggae Band, Como Conservatory, Wed,June 5th

Free.
Rain or Shine.
Music starts at 6:00 PM.
I'll get there by 5:00 PM to secure a spot in the shade for us.
Come early and meet up and converse before the music starts.
The band sets up on the lawn near the Enchanted Garden, across Aida Place to the east-southeast of the main (glass, domed) Conservatory building.

In case of rain they move inside to the Visitor Center Porch next to the Water Gardens. It's called "Covered Porch" in the Visitor Center in the map below. It's accessible through the front door of the Visitor Center.

The video there shows Innocent Reggae band performing at Groovin' in the Garden a few years ago.

Aida Place isn't shown on their map. It's the same street as Nason Place as it curves around to in front of the Conservatory.

Link to a webpage where you can find a video of a recent outdoor concert by the Innocent Reggae band: www.innocentreggaeband.com/. The band does some original songs and many Bob Marley covers, almost all of it in the old school reggae style.

I love this band! I'll be dancing. I encourage you to go out onto the dance area and move to the music, as well.
Also, the venue is quite pleasant. How could an enchanted garden not be?

Parking is free, on the streets in the immediate area or in one of the lots nearby. The Butterfly Lot is fairly close.

Hotdogs, popcorn, (maybe ice cream), pop, beer, and wine will be available to purchase.

Bring a lawn chair to sit on. I recommend bringing water for yourself. You may want to bring insect repellant, as well. It's up to you, of course. I don't think I've ever run into a mosquito issue there, but...

There will be port-a-potties and/or access to restrooms in the conservatory building.

How to find us
I look like my photo. I think the stage will be located where it was last year, which means that we'll be straight out from the stage. We'll be under a large shade tree. Look for a 5 ft. long green garden stake with a yellow balloon attached to the top of it. I'll have that near my chair.

This event is also posted with the Get Out, Get Social and Twin Cities Active Singles - 40+meetup groups.
