As the sun dips toward the Connetquot River, Bayard Cutting Arboretum opens its gates for an unforgettable evening along the Riverwalk and Shoreline. Arboretum horticulturists and volunteer docents lead a guided tour through some of the most beautiful corners of the grounds, sharing stories of the landscape's history and the trees that define it.

After the tour, settle in for a happy hour featuring local beer, wine, botanical mocktails, appetizers, live music, and artists — all set against the golden hour glow of one of Long Island's most stunning settings. Space is limited, so register early.
