Harvest Moon Banquet & Auction

One night a year, friends of Prickly Pear Land Trust trade their hiking gear for party attire to come together and celebrate our public lands, trails, and outdoor education. Join us for an unforgettable evening of dinner and cocktails, live music, and a fast-paced auction.

OCTOBER 10 at the HELENA CIVIC CENTER

Tickets available June 15

MUSIC & MEMORIES

Harvest Moon is a night to remember. Join friends old and new for a champagne toast. Enjoy dinner by Chili O’Brien’s and our signature prickly pear cocktail. After the live auction, the fun continues with a DJ and dance party. 

LIVE AUCTION

Harvest Moon gets feisty during the live auction. A handful of carefully curated packages feature one-of-a-kind adventures and artisan creations. When the bidding starts, the paddles are flying. It’s fast-paced, a little competitive, and all in good fun.

SILENT AUCTION

The silent auction is online so you can browse and bid from the comfort of your home. You’ll find a wide range of art and experiences generously donated by friends and sponsors. The silent auction closes at the gala. 

GOLDEN TICKET

One of the most exciting moments of the evening is the Golden Ticket drawing. Each year, a limited number of tickets offer guests the chance to win an unforgettable prize. Stay tuned for details on this year’s prize and how to get your Golden Ticket.
