ZBG Events

There are many events scheduled year round at ZBG, and many are open to the public. Most events are held inside the garden center and are free of charge, while a few require an entrance fee. One such paid event is Zilker Garden Festival, our annual spring garden extravaganza, which fills the main parking lot and much of the grounds. An amazing exhibit, DinoLand, will feature two special weekend events this fall. Find more events on the calendar.

Reservations are required for all events on the Zilker Botanical Garden grounds or in the building, including wedding or memorial ceremonies. The Garden Center Greene Room and Auditorium are available for receptions, parties and gatherings. For availability and reservations, please contact Julye Evans at 512-477-8672 ext. 10 or email at Julyette.Evans@ci.austin.tx.us.

Photographers – Please see information on required registration for commercial and professional use. There are regularly schedule events and meetings held at the Botanical Gardens that may interfere with gaining access to that perfect location for your photo.
