THE GREAT OUTDOORS CELEBRATION & AUCTION
August 9th, 2026
4:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
Auction Begins at 5:00 p.m.
SKLT Barn, 17 Matunuck Beach Rd.
Celebrate summer with the South Kingstown Land Trust at our signature fundraising event, held each August at Weeden Farm in South Kingstown.
As the sun sets over the bucolic fields, enjoy an evening of great company, delicious hors d’oeuvres, wine, beer, and cocktails while browsing an exciting lineup of live and silent auction items. This year’s auction celebrates the incredible talent and businesses right here in Rhode Island, with unique experiences ranging from boat charters and wine dinners to a one-of-a-kind game dinner, local artwork, and much more.
Grab a program, place your bids, and reconnect with friends while meeting fellow supporters who share a passion for protecting the special places that make South Kingstown such a remarkable place to live.
Each year, more than 300 guests gather to celebrate over 3,000 acres of conserved land and support the South Kingstown Land Trust’s mission. The Great Outdoors Celebration & Auction is one of SKLT’s most anticipated evenings of the summer.
See you there!
