  • Thursday, September 24, 5:30 pm – 10:30 pm – Afterglow at the Arnold

    The Arnold Arboretum and The Young Friends of the Arnold host Afterglow at the Arnold on Thursday, September 24, in the Arnold Arboretum’s Explorers Garden. The VIP experience begins at 5:30pm, and the afterparty begins at 7:30.

    This enchanting evening of discovery under the stars celebrates the Arboretum as a free public park in the City of Boston, a “museum of trees,” a conservation and research institution, and a community resource for education and well-being. The event will be hosted in our Arnold Arboretum’s Explorers Garden on Bussey Hill, where plants collected from around the world are cultivated to support the study and preservation of biodiversity. Guests will engage with Arboretum experts while enjoying cocktails and passed food in the living collections, followed by music and dancing under a tent.

    Pricing ranges from $115 – $1,000 (patron ticket). Register and learn more at https://arboretum.harvard.edu/support/afterglow-at-the-arnold/
