Save the Date for our biggest fundraising event of the year: Parkfest! Enjoy local food & drinks, meet park staff, play park-themed games, participate in a raffle and bid on some rad experiences in our silent auction. Your support will help fund critical projects in Washington’s national parks!
We work hard to bring the magic of Washington’s national parks to all people — even those who may not be in a position to visit them in person.
Virtual Field Trips bring the parks to the people in the comfort of their own homes. Hear from park rangers and experts as we take a field trip (via Zoom) to one of the parks in this free event series.
Fireside Circles also bring the magic of the parks into the community – or, in some cases, bring the community into the parks – for special one-night or weekend-long programs. These intimate get-togethers bring together park leadership with our community of supporters.
Pints for the Parks are fun community events where local breweries and cideries donate a portion of the proceeds back to the parks. At some events, we have guest speakers, a free raffle, and trivia!
We offer all kinds of engaging events that drum up financial support for critical park projects and welcome you to join us.

Whether you’re into cycling, running, leisurely walks, or even haunted houses, we’re sure our partners have an event you won’t want to miss.
