July 16-Labor Day Weekend; tickets start at $39 Music, dancing, roller skating, art, plants, and more Portals that serve as transformative passageways to other realms don't exist, or so we're told to believe. Download our mobile app for iOS or Android to get the latest breaking news and local stories. But it depends, of course, on the type of portal you've got in mind. If it is a movie-style, blinking-bright doorway, well... those seem to be in rather short supply. A lush garden, though? Talk about a true place of transformation, uplift-a-tude, and out-and-out joy. And when sounds flow through and around the shrubs, and lights twinkle among the leaves, and the mood grows merrier, a portal to a higher plane has definitely been discovered.
