Rooted & Reaching
SOLD OUT

Thursday, October 9
5-8 p.m.
Chautauqua Dining Hall

Raise a glass with friends, partners, and supporters as we celebrate five decades of protecting the lands, wildlife, and heritage that make Boulder County extraordinary.

This special evening will honor the incredible accomplishments of Boulder County Parks & Open Space — and look ahead to the next 50 years of stewardship and innovation.

Enjoy a festive reception with heavy appetizers, mingle with fellow open space enthusiasts, and be inspired by stories from our community. Explore tables hosted by our valued partners to learn more about the diverse work that keeps our landscapes thriving.

A silent auction will feature one-of-a-kind, Parks & Open Space–inspired items — a fun way to take home a piece of the places you love while supporting our future.

Come for the celebration. Stay for the inspiration. Help us write the next chapter in the legacy of Boulder County Parks & Open Space.

Sorry, but the event is sold out.
