I love coming here for Bach Beethoven and Brunch. Try to get there early 9am if you want to be in the front near the orchestra or meander around the back and find a shady spot under a huge tree with your picnic. Always bring a big soft blanket so you can lay down.
I adore soaking in the music while the sun rays poke through the swaying leaves displaying a kaleidoscope of light on my face. Sipping OJ in stryofoam cups and nibbling on strawberry and kiwi fruit salad makes the morning sublime.
One time I even made breakfast burritos. I have to insist that the burritos were super delicious but messy to eat in the park.
Mellon Park also hosts " A Fair in the Park " you will find music, fine arts, food, and fun!
You can buy some great plants at the Phipps garden center adjacent to this Sunday event. The brain looking plants are my favorite! See you this summer!
