ZODIAC: Garden Party 2022

After two years, the Mattress Factory is celebrating the return of the Garden Party, the Museum’s signature fundraiser and one of the hottest parties in Pittsburgh, bringing together a colorful 21+ crowd that sets this fundraiser apart from any other. The stars have aligned for ZODIAC: Garden Party on Friday, August 12! 

What’s your sign?

It’s a full moon rising, and we are celebrating with an evening of revelries, featuring food and drink from some of Pittsburgh’s best restaurants and bars. Experience an esoteric world full of contradictions, divinations and mystical visions courtesy of Event Architect Thommy Conroy.

At the Main Stage, groove to the sounds of Clara Kent, watch the moon rise with Good Sport, and release your inner beast with Pittsburgh late-night favorite Jellyfish. Get a glimpse of your destiny and consult the tarot and other divinations at stations throughout the party.

Doors open at 5:30 PM for VIP and Friend of the Mattress Factory ticket holders, and 7 PM for General Admission
