Event Details
We can't wait to see you at our 11th annual event on September 9, 2026! Guests win a wide range of pies and baked goods made by restaurants and bakeries from across Western New York, all while enjoying an evening of food, music, lawn games, garden tours, and more.
This event also celebrates the year’s harvest with baked goods by local community gardeners and applauds the accomplishments of gardeners, school partners, and volunteers with our annual award ceremony. After selling out the past two years, be sure to get your tickets early!
Dinner
Food is included with your admission ticket! Our friends at La Verdad will once again be catering this event with delicious barbecue favorites. Haven't heard of them? Yelp has! This year, they were rated #19 on the Yelp Elite Squad's Top 100 BBQ places in the United States!
Inside Five Points Bakery, say hi to the incredible crew hosting this event. <3
Tunes
Back by popular demand, The Bitter Nasties will grace the mainstage with folksy tunes, perfect for a crisp autumn night out.
What people are saying...
I loved the band!
They picked interesting songs and not the same 10 covers everyone picks at these sort of events.
Vibes are immaculate as always!
