Party in the Park 2025

This October 23rd, Rock Creek Conservancy is holding its annual gala, the Party in the Park, and we invite our community to join us in celebrating our recent achievements as we look to the future.

As we approach our 20th anniversary year, the Conservancy remains committed to revitalizing our urban forests, fighting for clean water, mobilizing people-powered restoration projects, and inviting everyone to access, enjoy, and steward the precious parks within the Rock Creek watershed.

We are thrilled that Kojo Nnamdi is chairing this year’s event. The Rock Creek community turns out in force for this big annual party to support the Conservancy’s mission and impact, and you will find yourself among more than 300 of the DMV’s influential movers and shakers in businesses, the arts, government policy, and conservation.

We’ll be partying in the landmark Carter Barron Amphitheater on its 75th Anniversary and will highlight the venue’s rich artistic, theatrical, and cultural history.

The Party’s proceeds support the Conservancy’s mission, Rock Creek Park, and the watershed. We are grateful for your support and can’t wait to see you on October 23rd — under the stars!
