Longwood Gardens will host a fundraiser performance with Patti LaBelle to benefit the new Kennett Library & Resource Center, which will open in 2023.

The new Kennett Library & Resource Center will serve the community’s growing needs and enhance Kennett Square’s streetscape, as well as serve as a gathering place, a hub for community meetings and activities, and a vital resource welcoming to all. Learn more at campaign4.kennettlibrary.org.

LaBelle’s name has become synonymous with grace, style, elegance, and class as time continues to evolve. Belting out classic rhythm and blues renditions, pop standards and spiritual sonnets have created the unique platform of versatility that she is known and revered for.

More tickets have been released for the event, staring at $100 for an evening under the stars with the Godmother of Soul.

The private event takes place on Sept. 13 in the Open Air Theatre. The garden and conservatory open at 5 PM and the concert will begin at 7:30 PM.

Tickets are available for purchase here.
