Manresa Wilds’ Community Event at the Maritime Aquarium

This event features the reveal of the Manresa Wilds’ concept plan, shaped by the ideas and feedback shared with us throughout our community engagement process from over the last year. During the speaking program, we will share what we heard, what we learned, and how community input has informed changes to the Master Plan that was shared in July 2025.

After the presentation, guests are invited to meet and connect with Manresa Wilds' staff, park consultants, and partners. Representatives from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, The Maritime Aquarium, Wesleyan University, and other collaborators will be available to discuss on-site research and projects.

• Doors open at 6:00 PM.
• Aquarium Access: Exhibits and food/drink vendors will not be open to the public during the event.
• Seating: Theater seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. If the theater reaches capacity, overflow guests can watch the speaking program via livestream in the Newman’s Own Room. Please note: Limited seating will be available in Newman’s Own; at full capacity, it will be standing room only.

We look forward to sharing how your feedback has helped shape Manresa Wilds!
