2026 marks our 50th Anniversary—join us in celebrating this golden milestone!
Party in the Park is a beloved tradition that celebrates music and community at Highmark Mann Center for the Performing Arts. Since our very first Opening Night “Supper-Dance” in June 1976, Highmark Mann has remained a place for celebration, and our signature summer fundraiser, a sparkling soirée.
Join us this year for a golden anniversary Party in the Park as we toast to fifty years of unforgettable performances, rich traditions, and magical nights under the stars at our home in Fairmount Park.
Funds raised at the Party in the Park support Highmark Mann’s free Education and Community Engagement programs at the heart of our non-profit mission.
