Do you love Philadelphia’s Parks? Glow in the Park is Fairmount Park Conservancy’s 8th annual event to showcase Philly’s amazing parks and build the next generation of park champions. Please join us as at the Fairmount Park Horticulture Center as we light up the night and host fellow park lovers for an evening of music, food, drinks and surprises. Proceeds from this event go to support Fairmount Park Conservancy's work in Philadelphia's parks.
