Pre-sale tickets SOLD OUT on Tuesday 9/19.

As Wildlands Trust turns 50, we invite you to celebrate with us at our Plymouth headquarters. The day will honor the people and places that make our region a special place to live and serve. See below for the ever-expanding list of live music, local food and drinks, and diverse activities (Owls! Hikes! Raffles!) that will create an unforgettable event for the neighbors, friends, and families of Southeastern Massachusetts!
What to Bring and Expect
Our celebration is rain or shine. Even if it rains, there will be plenty to do and see in the Conservation Barn and under the large tents. Hikes and tours are weather dependent. Bring a raincoat and good cheer!
Parking will be directed by Wildlands staff and volunteers. Most will park at Davis-Douglas Farm (675 Long Pond Rd., Plymouth), with nearby overflow parking if needed. Please carpool if you can!
When you arrive, head to the registration tent with either your ticket or a photo ID. You'll receive your swag bag and wristband at registration.
We will accept cash and cards for Wildlands merch and raffles.
