NYBG comes alive this weekend in a Garden-wide celebration of Mexican Independence. ¡Viva México! An Independence Day Celebration will honor Mexico’s heritage in the spirit of Frida Kahlo, the iconic artist and outspoken patriot of Mexico who is the subject of our current exhibition, FRIDA KAHLO: Art, Garden, Life. Alongside this blockbuster exhibition, visitors can enjoy an array of live performances and activities, with a particular highlight being the long-awaited poetry reading led by Rachel Eliza Griffiths this Saturday.
This weekend also features regular tours of the Garden’s collections and their seasonal beauty. The Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden is especially vibrant as it enters the height of its fall color, so you won’t want to miss that during your wanderings—continue reading for the full schedule of events!
