Set beneath a canopy of trees in Filoli’s breathtaking Garden, this farm-to-table feast invites guests to slow down and savor the moment in an extraordinary setting.
This signature event raises essential funds for Filoli’s Nature Programs, which provide hands-on, immersive experiences that foster meaningful connections with the natural world.
We invite you to become a sponsor and help make Filoli accessible to all. With your support, we can welcome more than 1,700 local students from underserved communities on free field trips and invite them to share Filoli with their families through Community Family memberships. Your generous sponsorship also allows us to expand outdoor learning experiences for guests of all ages. From our new Nature Playspace to Family Nature Weekends, these programs make Filoli a place where all our community can discover joy, wonder, and belonging in nature.
Host Committee Chair: Melanie Bonham Hoefer
Support Nature Programs at Filoli
Filoli’s Nature Programs invite the community to seek respite, discovery, and adventure across 654 acres of diverse and abundant Natural Lands. With the generous support of our donors, we are expanding our Nature Programs and inviting guests of all ages to explore all that Filoli has to offer. Your support allows us to sustainably steward the land, open new hiking trails, host more local students on field trips, and offer expanded programming to bring guests closer to nature.
