Two nights. Two shows.
One place you’ll want to be.
Join us for Songbird Summer Nights, a summer concert series at the Ogden Nature Center.
This year features Viv & Riley in June and Handmade Moments in August. These are easy, laid-back evenings where you can bring a blanket, sit under the trees, and enjoy live music in a setting that feels a little removed from everything else.
Join us for one or both. It is a good way to spend a summer night.
