We are thrilled to announce that our signature gala, Twilight Picnic for the Parks, is back! Join us on Saturday, August 21, 2021 at the Meadow in Hartwood Acres Park as we celebrate the Allegheny County Parks and the essential rolse they serve for our region. Regional supporters will gather in an open, tented park setting and sway to live jazz under the stars by Pittsburgh-born and New York-based Benny Benack III. The luster of twilight will provide the natural backdrop for al fresco style cocktails and dinner that will elevate the notion of picnic fare using the finest local ingredients. The evening promises to blend summer chic with rustic sophistication to create a truly memorable experience in the park.

All proceeds from this eveny supply the Allegheny County Parks Foundation with the necessary funding to accomplish transformative projects so that our county parks retain their significance to the economic, social and environmental vitality of our shared region.
