It's Autumn in Dilworth Park!
Dilworth Park has the suds, the soundtrack, and the action to keep you warm all autumn long, with a lineup of entertainment and fun, right alongside historic City Hall. PNC presents Live @ Lunch runs through the end of October with performing arts on the city's center stage every Wednesday. Rhythms and CCD Sips at Rosa Blanca Café have one last fling this week and the weekly Farmers' Market will be there all autumn long. Plus, Octoberfest presented by Saul Ewing is just around the corner!
