Irish Cultural Center

Escape the everyday and celebrate one of Greater Boston's most treasured natural places at Friends of the Blue Hills' only in-person fundraiser of the year.

Join fellow outdoor enthusiasts, community leaders, and supporters for an evening of delicious food, drinks, live music, exciting auctions and raffles, and inspiring stories about the impact you're making in the Blue Hills. Set against the beautiful grounds of the Irish Cultural Centre in Canton, this special event will raise critical funds to protect the 7,000-acre Blue Hills Reservation and connect more people with the park for generations to come.

Whether you've hiked the trails, watched a sunset from the summit, or simply value having nature just minutes from home, your attendance helps ensure the Blue Hills remain a place where everyone can experience the joy, peace, and adventure of the outdoors.
