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 this transformation. We will pay tribute to Ira Hirschfield, Greg Moore, Betsy and Roy Eisenhardt, Robert and Colleen Haas, Wally and Julie Haas, The Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund, and the countless volunteers and donors who helped the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy turn a dream into reality.
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—helping fund critical park improvements, youth leadership development, and the stewardship of more than 80,000 acres of urban national parkland that stretches from Muir Woods and the Marin Headlands through Crissy Field and down to Mori Point and Phleger Estate.
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!
