Music At Airlie Gardens

A wonderful way to spend a balmy summer evening is to attend an event at Airlie Gardens, New Hanover County's breathtakingly beautiful 67-acre site. The Airlie Gardens Summer Concert Series offers wonderful music, mostly jazz, at the events that are scheduled on Friday evenings from May through September. Details on the dates and artists are available at our Upcoming Events link.
