Gourmet by the Bay

Newport Bay Conservancy to host its annual celebration event, Gourmet by the Bay, on Saturday, August 19, 2023 at the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center from 6-9 p.m.

An evening of unique educational, environmental and gastronomical experience designed to highlight the Conservancy’s formidable efforts to restore native habitat and maintain balance in the Bay. Newport Bay Conservancy is a volunteer-driven, nonprofit organization whose heritage can be traced back to 1968 as the local resident force that opposed plans to turn this beautiful wetland into marinas and private docks. The evening will feature breathtaking views from the Center, calls of the endangered Ridgway Rail and other birds as the sun sets as with live entertainment, the opportunity to learn more about the wild plants and animals that inhabit the Bay, and stories of the rich history and community advocacy that helped save it from being developed to present day programs that continue the Conservancy’s mission of protecting and preserving the Bay. Tickets are $75 per person with other sponsorship opportunities available.
