📍 Community Trail Farm | La Crosse, WI

The Trail Lovers Ball is back! For the first time, we’ll gather at the Community Trail Farm - a fitting backdrop for a night celebrating the community that has helped bring this incredible place to life.

Join ORA Trails for an evening dedicated to the people, projects, and partnerships that make our trails and outdoor spaces possible. This annual celebration is our chance to thank the incredible volunteers who give their time and energy throughout the year, look back at what we’ve accomplished together, and raise support for the work still ahead.

Why It Matters

The Trail Lovers Ball is more than a fundraiser. It’s a chance to celebrate the volunteers, donors, partners, and community members who show up throughout the year to build trails, care for public outdoor spaces, lead programs, and make outdoor recreation more accessible.

Funds raised during the evening help ORA Trails continue that work — supporting trail maintenance and construction, volunteer stewardship, outdoor recreation programs, and future projects throughout our community.

Come celebrate a year of getting outside, giving back, and building something incredible together. 

We can’t wait to welcome you to the Community Trail Farm for the 2026 Trail Lovers Ball.
