Party on the Pacific Plate!

Saturday, September 19, 2026

Tickets on sale now!

We are eagerly preparing for our 17th annual Party on the Pacific Plate. This year’s celebration will take place at Bear Valley on Saturday, September 19. Our theme is Listening to the Land, and we invite you to join us in honoring this special place and building community in these fractured times, as public lands continue to face unprecedented pressures. 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. Tickets are now available for purchase.

Celebrate with us!

12pm – 3:30pm   |   Hikes, Walks, and Talks

Led by PRNSA/park staff, naturalists, and partners

4pm – 7pm   |   Party / Dinner Reception

Food and drinks from A Fork Full of Earth and local reception partners
