Midsummer Night at Old Westbury Gardens

LATEST UPDATE: Because of the seemingly unending rain, the date of this event has been changed to Friday, June 26.
This Saturday evening, June 20th, Old Westbury Gardens will glimmer with the glow of lanterns, and magic will be in the air. Music and dancing inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream will be performed in various areas on the grounds throughout the evening. Bring a blanket and a picnic basket and relax on the grounds. Or treat yourself to a gourmet dinner for $75 on the South Terrace of Westbury House. This special gourmet meal celebrates this year's 50th anniversary of the gardens.

Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the gate. Ages 18 and under are free when accompanied by an adult. For more info and reservations, call Old Westbury Gardens at (516) 333-0048.
