University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum

Enjoy the best of summer on Tuesday nights at the Farm at the Arb&nbsp;with live music and chef-crafted pizza fired in outdoor pizza ovens! The Arboretum's Chef Beth Fisher will create pre-ordered pizzas featuring farm-fresh vegetables, greens and herbs while visitors relax under the summer skies, play yard games and listen to the music. And there is a pop-up bar for soda, beer &amp; wine, plus the ice cram cart! Guests need an admission ticket that is at least 30 mins prior to their pizza time slot in addition to the pizza order. Pizzas are ready for pickup at the time of the pizza ticket ordered. The event is Bring Your Own seating so guests should bring a blanket, lawn chairs, or something to sit on to enjoy the pizza out on the lawn. Visit the website for complete details.
