<h3>"Lemonade &amp; Canvas" Kicks Off the 2026 Plateau Palooza Summer Art &amp; Concert Series at the Santa Rosa Plateau</h3>
Murrieta, CA — June 27, 2026 — The Nature Education Foundation invites the community to experience an unforgettable evening of art, music, food, and natural beauty at Lemonade &amp; Canvas, the signature opening event of the 2026 Plateau Palooza Summer Art Show &amp; Concert Series.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve, Lemonade &amp; Canvas will take place on Saturday, June 27, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., offering guests a unique opportunity to sip, savor, and celebrate creativity under the stars.
The evening will feature an outdoor art showcase highlighting the work of 35 local artists, including, for the first time in the event's history, talented scholastic artists from local high schools. Guests will have the opportunity to meet artists, explore their work, and experience the Reserve transformed into an open-air gallery surrounded by rolling hills and golden summer skies.

Guests will enjoy a gourmet picnic dinner, complimentary lemonade, and a selection of wine, mocktails, and specialty beverages while relaxing at picnic-style seating throughout the venue.
