The Gardens host many weddings, concerts and group picnics. Each summer, in the annual Tribute To the Trees concert, The Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra presents an outdoor dinner concert on the concert bowl lawns along the gorgeous upper Sacramento River. Tickets can be obtained for the program through the Chamber of Commerce and local merchants, the concert is a benefit for this gorgeous park. Member-donors from all over California, Oregon and Arizona, attend the concert. The gardens also host the annual Mossbrae Music festival, which is the main fundraiser for the Dunsmuir Chamber of Commerce. Educational programs included the Elder Hostel's Road Scholars program for Grandparents and Grandchildren and river education programs hosted by the River Exchange. In August of 2013 the ball field where Babe Ruth once played will be the host of the 21st annual State of Jefferson Beer Festival.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“All strange and terrible events are welcome,
But comforts we despise.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
