Trails Forever Dinner 2026

24th Annual Trails Forever Dinner - Crissy Field’s East Beach

Trails Forever

This fall, we invite you to join us for an unforgettable evening at one of the most beloved corners of our national parks as the Trails Forever Dinner returns to Crissy Field on Friday, September 25, 2026. You can expect a beautiful evening at Crissy Field’s East Beach with dinner, live music, and the joy of supporting a cause that enriches the parks in which we live our lives. 

This year is especially meaningful: we're celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Crissy Field restoration, one of the most ambitious urban park transformations in American history. In 2001, this landscape shifted from abandoned airfield to thriving coastal parkland. Now, we gather here to honor the legacy of those who made it possible; Betsy and Roy Eisenhardt, Robert and Colleen Haas, Walter and Julie Haas, Ira Hirschfield and Greg Moore.  

Our local national parks face increasing demands: aging infrastructure, staffing shortages, and the need for greater accessibility. Your support of the Trails Forever Dinner is a powerful way to meet the moment. Proceeds from the evening will help fund critical park improvements, youth leadership development programs, and the stewardship of more than 80,000 acres of urban national parkland, from Muir Woods to the Marin Headlands, Lands End and of course, Crissy Field itself. 

By purchasing your tickets now, you can help us plan for a successful event and, more importantly, ensure these extraordinary parks remain open, welcoming, and resilient for generations to come. 

We hope to see you on September 25th as we raise a glass to our parks, to the people who dreamt big and made them possible decades ago, and to the people like yourself who help protect them today! 

 Together, let's keep our trails open and the future bright!
