Celebrate and support environmental education and conservation.
Enjoy an unforgettable evening while helping Irvine increase its impact. Businesses looking to deepen their community engagment can participate through CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP. Reservations for the VIP EXPERIENCE and GENERAL ADMISSION tickets will be available this summer.
Why support Pumpkins on the Green? For over 50 years, Irvine has been a leader of environmental education for children and adults through nature-based learning. As the largest independent nature center in the region, Irvine delivers hundreds of programs annually and is the home to over 50 animal ambassadors and the steward of over 211 acres. At Irvine, we inspire people to explore, respect and protect nature.
Why attend Pumpkins on the Green? Year after year, it is said that Pumpkins on the Green is THE BEST FALL PARTY in the region – featuring live music, spectacular food, expertly crafted cocktails, an extraordinary silent auction, animal encounters, and more surprises.
The success of Pumpkins on the Green directly fuels our work in land stewardship, animal care, and environmental education — and we couldn’t do it without your support.

Irvine plays a powerful role in building healthier, more connected communities. You see it in the moments that matter – when a child discovers something new in nature or someone finds a sense of peace outdoors. That’s the kind of impact we’re proud to support.
