Yough Defense Party

November 21 All day

Is it possible to top last year’s incredible, record-setting Yough Defense Party? We don’t know, but we’re gonna try!

Pencil us into your calendar for:

  • Music from Randy Myers, Hemlock, and Ferncliff Collective
  • Dancing
  • An incredible silent auction (thanks to generous contributions from local artists and makers)
  • Local beer specials
  • New merch for sale (30th Year Anniversary merch this year!!)
  • A rip-roaring good time!

Want to party in a low-key atmosphere before the ruckus gets started?
Join Vin de Matrix Winery and MWA’s rad Community Organizer Stacey Magda in our very first VIP section at YDP. Enjoy complimentary wine, charcuterie, and smores bar in the pavilion at the party from 5pm-8pm. Limit 30 folks, $100 per entry ticket. This ticket price includes your entry into the Yough Defense Party. Purchase VIP tickets

You don’t have to miss the Steelers game!
After the VIP section wraps up at 8:00, we will be airing the Steelers game on the projector! The projector will be set up in the pavilion across from the Falls City Pub. There is a fire pit close by to warm up but we encourage you bring some warm layers in case it gets chilly at night.

Purchase a raffle ticket for a chance to win a kayak or dry suit!
Bring CASH if you want to enter the Kayak raffle! For just a $20 raffle ticket, you could win a new kayak, SUP board, canoe, or dry suit (your choice)!

Want to help out?

We’re seeking donations for our silent auction to help us meet our fundraising goal!

The silent auction typically consists of handmade goods from local artists, showcasing the talents of Mountain Watershed supporters. We seek to celebrate the many unique experiences that lie within the watershed by stocking the auction with unique gifts and experiences.

Help us showcase the essence of the Laurel Highlands and surrounding area by contributing to our fundraising auction with one of kind jewelry, specialized workshops, a multi-day adventure package with overnight stays, hands-on activities, photoshoots, custom made Yough Watershed decor, a weekend at a vacation rental or any other in-kind and unique offering you can imagine.

If you have items to donate, we just need some information! Please go to this website You can drop off the items at the office or mail them

Bring a potluck dish to share!

The kitchen at Falls City Pub will not be open for the Yough Defense Party so we rely on MWA supporters to bring potluck dishes. If you are willing to bring some grub, please email Lindsey@mtwatershed.com to let us know.
