Annual Mill Hill Garden Tour

Saturday June 6, 2026
12:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Annual Mill Hill Garden Tour with a historic twist! Enjoy beautiful private gardens & jump on a trolley to visit Trenton historic sites. Step behind the historic facades of Trenton and discover the hidden gardens of Mill Hill!

Every year, Mill Hill residents open their gates to share the private green sanctuaries tucked behind one of the city’s most beautiful historic neighborhoods. This year’s garden tour is especially meaningful as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday in the very city where the tide of the Revolution turned. Just steps from the site of the Battle of Trenton, more than 20 private gardens and public spaces—from intimate courtyards to lush backyard retreats—will welcome visitors for a rare behind-the-scenes look at the neighborhood. Whether you’re a garden lover, history enthusiast, architecture buff, or simply looking for a charming day out, the Mill Hill Garden Tour offers a unique chance to explore the creativity and beauty hidden behind Trenton’s historic streets.

The Big Sit - Not Your Average Picnic

Saturday June 6, 2026
12:00 PM - 3:00 PM

You’re invited to sit, play, snack, and connect at this great gingham gathering. This isn’t your kids’ after-school picnic or a sad family reunion in Toledo, but the best way to meet your neighbors, swap recipes, blow bubbles, and discover your picnic personality. Choose your own adventure: pack a pop tart or elevate the picnic experience with an elaborate set-up. Whether it’s a bucket of fried chicken, Japanese takeout, or a homemade, fancy five-course meal, it’s all good at THE BIG SIT. Bring along board games, cards, books, beach balls, hula hoops, sketchbooks, embroidery, kids, well behaved dogs — we just ask that you keep it screen-free. We’re going analog here, people!

You’ll find us in Community Park South on Saturday, June 6 from 12-3pm. If we need it, the Rain Date is the following day, Sunday, June 7, at the same time.
