Join us for Twilight Picnic for the Parks, the signature fundraising event for the Allegheny County Parks Foundation.

Saturday, August 16, 2025 | 6:30 - 10:30pm
Hartwood Acres Park, The Great Lawn

Twilight Picnic for the Parks is a celebration of our most cherished resources, our nine Allegheny County Parks. Presented by UPMC Health Plan, this year we return to the picturesque grounds of the Tudor-style Hartwood Acres Mansion. Join us as we gather beneath elegant tents nestled amongst a blooming English perennial garden, surrounded by recently reimagined art sculptures. While twilight falls, live music will drift through the evening air as we enjoy a meal made from the finest local ingredients, creating a truly magical atmosphere under the stars.

All proceeds from this event support the Allegheny County Parks Foundation's goal to accomplish transformative projects so that our county parks retain their significance to the economic, social and environmental vitality of our shared region. Since its inception in 2017, Twilight Picnic for the Parks has raised over $3 million to improve, conserve and restore the nine Allegheny County Parks.
