Philadelphia's Magic Gardens hosts Twilight in the Gardens every fourth Friday from May through October, with live music in the courtyard, guided art workshops and BYOB picnics.

Philadelphia's Magic Gardens is bringing back its Twilight in the Gardens series, running every fourth Friday from May through October. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the evening wraps at 10 p.m.

Each event features a live musical performance in the courtyard from 8 to 9 p.m. and a guided art workshop outside under a covered area. A teaching artist and volunteers lead each activity, and attendees take their finished work home.
