POPP 2025


Party on the Pacific Plate!

Saturday, September 20, 2025


We are eagerly preparing for our 16th annual Party on the Pacific Plate. This year’s celebration will take place at Bear Valley on Saturday, September 20—the autumn equinox! Our theme is resilience in community, and we invite you to join us in honoring and supporting this special place and the people who steward and protect it. This is our biggest event of the year—a vibrant gathering where we come together to enjoy the beauty of the Park, dance to live music, savor delicious local food and drinks, and connect with each other. It’s also an opportunity to support PRNSA’s vital conservation, education, and community-building work.

This year’s sponsor levels remind us of the many unique gifts that Point Reyes has to offer. We are honored to partner with local artist Lela Shields, who will be creating an original painting entitled Resilience in Community specifically for this event.
