Thursday night live music

Join us every Thursday from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm for our Summer Music Series at Craftsman Kitchen & Terrace, set in the gardens at Cherry Valley Hotel. Each week brings a new artist, creating a relaxed, open-air setting where you can settle in, enjoy live music, and spend time with friends.

The series takes place around our terrace overlooking the gardens, with drinks and food available throughout the evening. 

This is a free community event, open to both hotel guests and locals. Guests are welcome to bring their own chairs, or use seating available on-site. Coolers and outside food or beverages are not permitted.
