Mother’s Day Weekend at Longwood Gardens
Enjoy a flower-filled stroll this Mother’s Day Weekend and celebrate the opening of Festival of Fountains with the return of daily fountain performances. Take in a spectacular Illuminated Fountain Performance Friday (The Piano Men), Saturday (Here You Come Again), and Sunday (Where the Heart Is) evenings when the Gardens are open until 10:00 pm. On Sunday from 12:00 to 3:00 pm, enjoy music with guitarist Chris Braddock in the Conservatory.
Timed Admission Tickets are required daily, and Member reservations (except for Gardens Premium Members and Innovators) are required Friday–Sunday from 3:00 pm to close. Plan in advance as many days sell out well in advance.
