Dress in your Surreal best and enjoy a night full of neon, art, music, costumes, live entertainment, dancing, local-favorite food trailers, cash bars, interactive sculptures, and more!

A portion of the proceeds of the Surreal Garden event will benefit the Zilker Botanical Garden Conservancy (ZBGC), a 501c(3) established in 2015 to advance the capacity and status of Zilker Botanical Garden. The Garden is now managed as a public-private partnership between the City of Austin Parks & Recreation Department (PARD) and the ZBGC.
