Save the date! The Grant Park Conservancy’s 5th Annual Canopy Soirée returns on February 28 from 8:00pm to 11:00pm at Zoo Atlanta. This annual bash benefits the work that the GPC does and is the perfect opportunity to support the park while having fun and mingling with friends and neighbors.
A large part of the Grant Park Conservancy’s funding is provided by individual donations, grants, and fundraising events like this one. Funds raised at this year’s event will be used to support the Abana Courtyard and Southeast Quadrant restoration projects, reimagine the Grant Park playground, as well as care for the park’s tree canopy through structural pruning and invasive plants removal, and bringing the popular Summer Shade Festival back to Grant Park in 2025.
Tickets to the Canopy Soirée will become available in January, so purchase yours and get ready for a fun night at the Zoo! Attendees will be able to spend time at an open bar, indulge in heavy hors d’oeuvres, dance the night away, and participate in an exciting raffle.
Looking for a VIP experience? Join the Host Committee. Host Committee members get two tickets to the event, VIP seating, recognition, food and beverage perks, and more. Additionally, you can purchase a Host Committee table and get eight tickets to the event at a reserved VIP table plus everything else listed above for you and your guests.
This event is for ages 21 and up only. Please contact Nikki Zimmerman nzimmerman@gpconservancy.org with any questions, or for sponsorship and host committee information. For more information, visit www.gpconservancy.org/events-programs/canopy-soiree.
