FREE, drop-in family fun
Free Drop-In | 10am–3pm
The Children’s Garden is one of the most magical spots at Evergreen Brick Works — and a few times a year, we make it even more special.
Join us for a free, drop-in party celebrating the season right where it’s unfolding: outside, in the garden, with your kids and your community. Expect hands-on nature activities, creative play, staff-led explorations and the kind of afternoon that reminds you what summer (or fall, or winter) is really for.
No tickets. No registration. Just show up and have fun.

The Farmers Market runs every Saturday, the Artisan & Vintage Market is on select Sundays and our Evergreen Garden Market is open 7 days a week — check what’s on the day of your visit and make a full day of it.
The Children’s Garden at Evergreen Brick Works is a 14,000 sq. ft. outdoor play and learning space at the heart of the Brick Works campus. Designed for hands-on, nature-based exploration, the garden features native plants, loose parts and water play and our revitalized amphitheatre and fireside experience.
It’s one of the most-loved spots at the Brick Works — and the perfect place to spend a few hours outside together.
Evergreen Brick Works is operated by Evergreen, an environmental charity working to create better public spaces for people and planet. Our Children’s Garden Seasonal Parties are made possible through community partnerships and support from our donors and sponsors.
