Pairing for the Parks Returns to Wilder Mansion!

The Elmhurst Parks Foundation is pleased to invite the community to Pairing for the Parks, a thoughtfully curated evening of food, music, and connection in support of Elmhurst’s parks.

The event will take place on Friday, February 7, 2026, from 6–8 p.m. at the historic Wilder Mansion, and is proudly sponsored by Erica Blawat Architecture. Guests will be welcomed with a reception sponsored by Makinney Group, Compass Real Estate, with additional support from Hive House by Spark Scent Collective, setting the tone for a warm and inviting night.

The evening features a three-course Spanish tasting menu paired with craft cocktails by Pour Destino, offering guests a unique culinary experience designed to complement the setting and the spirit of the event. Live music by Songbird School of Music will provide an elegant and relaxed backdrop throughout the evening.

Proceeds from Pairing for the Parks directly benefit the Elmhurst Parks Foundation and support projects, programs, and initiatives that enhance parks, facilities, and recreational opportunities across the community.

Tickets are $150 per couple or $600 for a table of eight, with advance registration encouraged.

We hope you’ll join us for this memorable evening at Wilder Mansion as we come together to support Elmhurst’s parks and the spaces that bring our community to life.
