The 2020 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show, “Riviera Holiday,” will transport visitors to the Mediterranean Riviera, a region renowned for both its aesthetic horticulture and its sustainability. The world’s leading floral and garden designers will immerse visitors in the sights, scents, and tastes of the region as citrus trees and sweeps of lavender will form a vision of Riviera's life along intimate pathways to a whole new crop of experiences, garden displays, and artistic design. The annual Flower Show is a top destination and a “must experience” horticultural event, attracting 250,000 visitors annually, a showcase of excellence that dates back to 1829.

Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives: Marty Stuart is the Pilgrim | Friday, February 28
Love and Luck One of country music's most historically minded new traditionalists, Marty Stuart is also one of its more flamboyant showmen, supporting his party-hearty image with a wardrobe of rhinestone-laden Nudie suits. Despite his fondness for flash, Stuart was one of the most eclectic country artists to rise to stardom in the '80s, moving between honky-tonk (1994's Love and Luck), rockabilly (1986's Marty Stuart), country-rock (2003's Country Music), traditional country (1992's Let There Be Country), Western music (2017's Way Out West), gospel (2005's Souls' Chapel), and bluegrass (1982's Busy Bee Cafe). Stuart easily balanced the various sides of his musical personality, with his love of country music's past and present the common bond between it all.
