Games in the Garden ft. Live Music by J Riley Cain & Knockout Gumbo
Thursday, October 15, 2026 at 10:00 pm
October 15, 2026
During World War II, Edith and Edgar Stern opened Longue Vue to friends, who in turn made their personal homes available for the war effort. During their temporary stay, this group of friends spent their evenings playing social games of tennis to connect and distract from the war: They called it the Racquet and Julep Club. As a nod to the Racquet and Julep Club, Longue Vue's annual Games in the Gardens fundraiser celebrates the power of sports to connect communities, while raising funds for year-round garden education at Longue Vue, partner schools, and community sites.
