This popular event is back for 2014 and better than ever! Imagine an outdoor pleasure dome, strung with lights, adorned with fountains and featuring the top musicians, dancers and entertainers of the time. That was the scene at Niblo's Garden - the premier entertainment house of the 19th century. Niblo himself had a habit of turning his Green-Wood mausoleum - built years before his death - into a pleasure garden of its own, with friends, picnics and goldfish-stocked ponds.

Join author, historian, and Niblo expert Ben Feldman to bring the glory of Niblo’s Garden to Green-Wood! Enjoy an evening picnic around the beautiful glacial pond Crescent Water, and take in an evening of showmanship in front of the grand Niblo mausoleum. Bring a blanket, some snacks and drinks, and you’ll be dazzled by fire jugglers, singers, even famed knife thrower Throwdini! – all under paper lanterns and a starry sky.

Savvy New Yorkers and listeners of WNYC and NPR have known about "The Moth" for more than a decade now. Their storytelling events (and the corresponding radio show) celebrate the age-old tradition of storytelling and the power of the experience, for both the teller and the listener. Far beyond a mere theatrical experience, the performances merge entertainment, enlightenment and festivity.

Radio host and novelist Kurt Andersen hosts this Mainstage event where, under the cloak of darkness in Green-Wood's historic atmosphere, five virtuoso raconteurs will tell captivating true tales, all connected to each other by a central theme. Touching, comedic, profound, and deeply personal, the tales take on a life of their own. After the show, audience members and storytellers alike will continue swapping stories over drinks admist the Green-Wood landscape.

There are few places more atmospheric than a cemetery at dusk – and Green-Wood is top notch when it comes to beauty and atmosphere. So take a walk on the wild side during this special event that will lead you on a twilight tour of the expansive grounds. As the sun sets on 478 spectacular acres, you’ll weave through stunning landscapes and visit the graves of fascinating figures in New York and American culture.

After the walking tour, enjoy drinks and light refreshments amidst the art and greenery. The catacombs will be open for the reception, so you can wander by torchlight, sip your drink, and visit the opulent indoor resting places of Green-Wood.
