About the Event

Twilight Picnic for the Parks is the signature fundraising event for the Allegheny County Parks Foundation. This year’s celebration returns to the serene Caren Glotfelty Meadow — a peaceful expanse of open sky and quiet natural beauty in Hartwood Acres Park .

Join us as we gather beneath elegant tents set gently within the meadow’s landscape, surrounded by rolling hills and the soft glow of twilight. As the sun dips below the horizon, live music by Jon Bindley & The Steel Cowboys will drift across the field. Guests will enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal featuring the finest local ingredients, creating a magical evening under the emerging stars .

Since its inception in 2017, Twilight Picnic for the Parks has raised over $3.4 million to improve, conserve, and restore the nine Allegheny County Parks .
