The 41st Annual Mountain Affair

Benefiting Mountain Community Resources

Join us for the 41st Annual Mountain Affair on Friday, October 30, 2026, at Highlands Park Senior & Community Center in Ben Lomond. 

The Mountain Affair brings neighbors, local leaders, and longtime supporters together for an evening under the redwoods in support of Mountain Community Resources, San Lorenzo Valley’s local family resource center. Guests enjoy fine food, local wines, live music, a silent auction featuring local businesses and artisans, and a meaningful opportunity to invest in a stronger, more connected valley. 

All proceeds support Mountain Community Resources in providing a welcoming place where San Lorenzo Valley residents can access food, counseling, parent education, housing navigation, emergency preparedness, disaster recovery support, and connections to the broader Community Bridges network. 

As the gateway to the broader Community Bridges network, Mountain Community Resources connects valley residents to additional essential programs like Early Education, WIC, Meals on Wheels, and Lift Line. The Mountain Affair is a community tradition rooted in compassion, resilience, and the shared belief that every neighbor deserves support at every stage of life and when they need it most.  

Sponsorship opportunities are available to raise funds for the event. Donating auction items is another great way to showcase your products while making a positive impact. Download our sponsorship packet to see ways  to get involved. Purchase tickets today to be part of this important community gathering.
