Garden of Laughs was previously staged in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019.

The Garden of Dreams Foundation is a non-profit organization that works with the MSG Family of Companies – MSG Entertainment, MSG Sports and Sphere Entertainment – to positively impact the lives of children facing obstacles such as homelessness, extreme poverty, illness and foster care. Since it began in 2006, The Foundation has used the magic of MSG and its brands – including the Knicks, Rangers, Rockettes, famed showplaces and two sports and entertainment networks – to brighten the lives of more than 425,000 children and their families. Garden of Dreams takes pride in its commitment to truly change lives, hosting more than 500 events and programs each year.

In addition, through its Garden of Dreams Giving program, the Foundation funds important projects such as the refurbishment of gymnasiums and pediatric areas at local hospitals, and the construction of new dance and music studios. Garden of Dreams also meets the critical needs of college-bound high school seniors by providing four-year scholarships to help students achieve their educational goals.

Limited tickets remain for Garden of Laughs, and are available via Ticketmaster.com and at the Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and Beacon Theatre box offices. Please note, the lineup is subject to change.

Garden of Laughs is proud to be supported by Chase, DoorDash and Benjamin Moore.
