Our classical Illuminated Fountain Performances are dramatic, inspiring, and breathtakingly beautiful. Many of these performances are designed by Longwood P.S. du Pont Fellow—and our very first fountain choreographer—Colvin Randall, who has been at the Gardens for 48 years and designing shows for 45 years.

Join us in the Main Fountain Garden for these masterful evenings.

Evening Masquerade*
