Featured Event
Pumpkins on the Green
Irvine Nature Center celebrated its 11th annual Pumpkins on the Green Un-Gala on October 25, 2019. The Un-Gala was a blue jean casual celebration featuring live music, dancing, wine tasting, live and silent auctions, local food, brews, and 600 of your closest neighbors and community members. All proceeds directly benefited Irvine Nature Center's Environmental Education Programs, which serve more than 80,000 local children and adults every year.
With both a VIP and General Reception, favorite appetizer items included Crab Dip Pretzels, Meatloaf and Mash and Grilled Eggplant Caponata. The Dinner Buffet included the guest favorite of Maple Pecan Crusted Salmon. The evening concluded with a Make Your Own S’Mores Bar – bringing back a fun childhood tradition to finish off the evening’s celebration.
