Irvine Nature Center

<a href="https://www.explorenature.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Irvine Nature Center</a> will host its 18th annual <a href="https://www.explorenature.org/pumpkins-on-the-green/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Pumpkins on the Green</a> evening event on Friday, October 23, 2026, inviting Maryland nature lovers to celebrate the fall season at one of its most anticipated and impactful fundraisers.
Known as Irvine’s signature “un-gala,” Pumpkins on the Green offers guests an unforgettable evening at Irvine Nature Center, featuring live music, food, expertly crafted seasonal cocktails, a silent auction (which will also be available to participate in virtually), animal encounters and more festive surprises. Proceeds support Irvine’s mission of connecting people with nature.&nbsp;
Funds raised through Pumpkins on the Green directly support Irvine’s work in land stewardship, animal care and environmental education, helping ensure that the organization can continue to provide meaningful opportunities for people to experience and learn about nature.&nbsp;
“Pumpkins on the Green is such an exciting night for Irvine because it brings our community together to enjoy an incredible evening, celebrate nature, and support a cause that means so much to all of us,” said CeCe Carter, executive director of Irvine Nature Center. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to have fun while raising critical funds that support all of Irvine’s programming that reaches the entire Baltimore community.”
The evening will offer both VIP and general admission experiences. Corporate sponsorship opportunities are also available for businesses interested in supporting Irvine’s mission. For information about corporate sponsorship, contact Paula Stauffer, assistant director of development, at 443-738-9241 or StaufferP@ExploreNature.org.
