Bartlett Arboretum Chautauqua

Bartlett Arboretum is proud to celebrate joining the legendary Chautauqua movement by hosting a multi-disciplinary weekend gathering on October 3 and 4, 2026. Under the banner of "Cultivating Community," the weekend program offers an expansive variety of interactive workshops, hands-on craft sessions, and inspiring educational lectures. After a full day of activity, Saturday evening’s programming features a communal Soup supper followed by an old-fashioned Barn Dance with a live string band accompaniment. The Chautauqua weekend will draw to an unforgettable close on Sunday afternoon with a live concert by Moe Pitney on the grand lawn.
