As summer approaches, outdoor concert series are gearing up at two of the more picturesque venues around the city.

After nearly a decade-long hiatus, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden is reviving its beloved Groovin’ in the Garden series as part of the venue’s 40th anniversary celebration this year.

National touring acts will perform throughout the summer and fall in the picturesque Cochrane Rose Garden setting.

The concert lineup kicks off May 30 with folk rockers Carbon Leaf, followed by the Drive-By Truckers revisiting their “Southern Rock Opera” album on June 10. Singer-songwriter Ben Folds brings his “Paper Airplane Request Tour” to the Garden on June 11, a show already sold out.

Fleetwood Mac tribute act Rumours ATL takes the stage Aug. 22.

At the venue, outside food and beverages are prohibited but concessions will be available.

Lawn seating is allowed, with chairs provided in the premium Gold Circle section.

Maymont’s Summer Kickoff Festival returns June 7-8 to the historic estate’s Carriage House Lawn. The two-day event offers an eclectic sampling of local and regional rock, Latin, funk, and blues acts. The lineup for the series includes Tom Petty tribute band Full Moon Fever, yacht rockers Three Sheets to the Wind, a performance by the Latin Ballet of Virginia, progressive soul artist Shera Shi, funk/hip-hop/jazz group Weekend Plans, salsa band Bio Ritmo and blues fusion from Justin Golden and the Devil’s Coattails.

While taking in the tunes, attendees can enjoy craft beer, cider, wine and food. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children ages 3 to 16 for one-day passes.
