Young Friends at the Arnold Arboretum
Hosted by the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, this inaugural event for the Young Friends of the Arnold Arboretum features an enchanting evening of food, drinks, and activities in the landscape after dark—a time when the Arboretum is usually closed to the visiting public.
Designed to appeal to those 21-40 or who are young at heart, this event is a premier opportunity to immerse yourself in the plants, purpose, and passion of the Arnold Arboretum with other metropolitan nature enthusiasts.
Please note that this is a 21 and older event.
Purchase tickets for $110, which covers individual admittance to the event, passed food, and an open wine and beer bar. Members of the Arnold Arboretum are eligible to purchase tickets for $75 per person. Patron level tickets are available for $250 per person and include an Arnold Arboretum plant and a wood bowl hand-turned from a felled Arboretum tree.
We highly recommend using a rideshare service (reference address listed above as your destination) or taking public transportation. We will offer a shuttle for attendees to the Forest Hills MBTA station at the close of the event. Parking is limited around the Arboretum, but limited spaces will be available in the parking garage of Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital (1153 Centre St, Boston, MA 02130) . If you are driving to the event, please reach out to us after purchasing your ticket, so we can adequately prepare.
