Flanders Summer Soirée

Join us for an unforgettable summer night at the Flanders Summer Soirée — an outdoor evening featuring a chef-crafted seasonal tasting menu, signature cocktails, live music, and the relaxed, elegant atmosphere of the Van Vleck Farm & Nature Center in late August.

Along with great food and drinks, guests will enjoy a silent auction filled with unique experiences and local offerings, plus a raffle you can enter ahead of time or at the event.

It’s the perfect night out: dress up a bit, gather with friends, and enjoy an elevated summer celebration surrounded by the beauty of the sanctuary.

VIP tickets are nearly sold out, but there’s still time to reserve your spot for the main event.

RSVP deadline: August 10

Your attendance supports conservation, education, and the protection of the land we all love.

We hope to see you there!
