Sip, Savor, and Sway Under the Stars
From mid‑May through late October, the Beer Garden bursts to life every weekend with live music set against the lush backdrop of our Gardens. Whether you’re gathering with friends, enjoying family time, or slipping into date‑night mode, this vibrant outdoor venue is your go‑to summer destination.
Come for the Music, Stay for the Magic
From global rhythms to laid-back Americana, our rotating lineup of musicians sets the scene for a relaxed and joyful evening. Pair your tunes with Victory Brewing Company’s craft selections—including beers brewed just for Longwood (while supplies last)—and casual, crowd-pleasing eats served right in the Beer Garden. But the night doesn’t end here, because just as the final chord fades, the magic moves to the Main Fountain Garden for our Illuminated Fountain Performances.
See you for the next set.
