Our Flagship Celebration

Celebrate with Us at Creek Rising!

Date & Time: September 17, 2026 • 5pm to 7pm
Location: Zonolite Park

Join us for an unforgettable evening of refreshments, music, artisanal cocktails, and the chance to explore the trails and beauty of Zonolite Park. We fill the park with yard games, Atlanta’s favorite rubber duck race, and some amazing surprises.

We have presented this remarkable gathering for over 10 years, honoring the successes of our supporters, and every year we renew our commitment to protecting and connecting the banks of the South Fork of Peachtree Creek. Creek Rising is not possible without you—and we are deeply grateful for the community that makes this work thrive.

Every ticket, bid, and donation helps create a healthier South Fork.

There are several ways to be part of Creek Rising:

Become a host and invite friends, family, or colleagues to join you. Hosts receive additional tickets and help introduce new supporters to our mission.
Purchase your ticket and join us for an inspiring evening celebrating the South Fork.
Bid in our silent auction, featuring unique experiences and items, view using button below.
Make a tax-deductible donation if you can't attend. Your support helps advance conservation, restoration, and community engagement throughout the watershed.

SILENT AUCTION

Our Silent Auction has become a huge draw. It is live now on the Creek Rising Event page and ends at the event. Bid on a unique auction item like a Big Green Egg, an artisan-crafted quilt or an experience like nights on a St. Simons marsh or nature photography workshop.

The auction will feature both Buy-It-Now options and opportunities to bid on your favorites. You can still win if you aren’t present, just get a friend who is attending to monitor and bid in-person for you. Plus, more items and packages will be available in-person at the event!

Thank you to everyone who supports Creek Rising, from our sponsors, hosts, auction donors, as well as our committee and volunteers who make this event possible. Every dollar raised supports our ability to clean the creek and its banks, restore native habitat and mitigate erosion, advocate for a healthier creek for humans and wildlife, and provide opportunities for connection to nature through trails and programs.
