The Canopy Dinner is on July 10th!

After a very successful dinner in 2025, the Canopy Dinner is back with a new slate of hosts!

If you missed it last year, here’s the scoop: Mountain Top Arboretum is reimagining the traditional benefit dinner. Instead of one event in a single location, friends of Mountain Top Arboretum are opening their homes, gardens, and businesses to host a series of intimate dinners—each one unique, but all united by a shared purpose: supporting the Arboretum.

The Canopy Dinner

tICKETS ARE $125/PERSON, OR WE HAVE SEVERAL SPONSORSHIP LEVELS AVAILABLE:

Of course, a donation of any size is gratefully accepted, and your sponsorship/ticket purchase/donation is 100% tax-deductible! Each host is generously welcoming 8 to 20 guests for an evening of good food, great company, and meaningful connection. Some dinners will be elegant, some rustic, others creative or cozy—but every gathering will help sustain the Arboretum’s work preserving the natural beauty of our mountain landscape. We are so grateful to our community members who have volunteered their homes and businesses to host the Canopy Dinner. While you’re welcome to request a specific host, part of the fun of an event like this is meeting new people and dining somewhere new!

Many thanks to this year’s hosts! We can’t wait for another magical evening on the mountaintop. Questions or concerns? Give Jennifer Hemmerlein a call at (518) 589-3903 X103 or e-mail jennifer@mtarboretum.org.
