WESTPORT–Toast to the Trees is Earthplace’s celebration of Arbor Day.

On Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 4 to 6 p.m., the family-friendly event honors the environment, the new season and local craft beer on Earthplace’s 62-acre nature sanctuary.

The “Toast” will have guests walking along paths through the sanctuary. Along the way, those 21 and over can enjoy craft beer tastings from local breweries, while their children are treated to sparkling beverages and nature-themed arts and crafts.

“Toast to the Trees is more than just a walk in the woods; it’s a celebration of our community and the natural resources we protect,” said Amee Borys, Executive Director at Earthplace. “With over 200 people joining us each year, it has become a beloved tradition that directly supports our mission of nature education and conservation.”

The path leads guests to the the Beer Garden and picnic grove, where the festivities continue with:

  • Live Music from Dead Aura Live.
  • Beer Garden: local craft beer for on-premise consumption
  • Food & Fun: Food trucks, lawn games, and a community campfire for roasting s’mores.
  • Giving Back: 100% of the proceeds from the event benefit Earthplace nature education programs, scholarships, and community outreach initiatives.
