The Caren Glotfelty Meadow at Hartwood Acres

Twilight Picnic for the Parks is a celebration of our most cherished resources, our nine Allegheny County Parks. Presented by PNC, this year we return to the serene Caren Glotfelty Meadow — a peaceful expanse of open sky and quiet natural beauty. 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 will drift across the field while we enjoy a thoughtfully prepared meal featuring the finest local ingredients, creating a magical evening under the emerging stars.

All proceeds from this event support your nine Allegheny County Parks and advance the Allegheny County Parks Foundation's goal to accomplish transformative projects so that our county parks retain their significance to the economic, social and environmental vitality of our shared region. 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.
