Main Fountain Garden Performances

Main Fountain Garden Performances bring Longwood Gardens’ central fountain to life through coordinated water movement and music. The display features 1,719 jets that spin, dance, and surge as high as 175 feet, creating a large-scale performance throughout the garden.

The October 28 performance is scheduled during the daytime, so the fountains will not be illuminated. Visitors may sit on the lawn throughout the Main Fountain Garden or stand and watch from other vantage points. Performances may be canceled in severe weather.
