Woodbury Friends Fest is back for another year of community.
Ladies, it’s time to pull out your cocktail and party attire, and men, press your suits and sport jackets—it’s time for Woodbury Friends Fest. Enjoy an evening of community and celebration on April 27 at The Confluence Hotel in Hastings. This event serves as the Woodbury Community Foundation’s (WCF) annual fundraiser, and the organization supports programs and nonprofits that uplift and strengthen the community.
“Experience the charm of a classic supper club, where friends and neighbors gather to enjoy great food, conversation and camaraderie,” says Cindy Shanley, 2025 Friends Fest chair. The evening includes a menu celebrating supper club traditions, opportunities to connect, a silent and live auction, music, games and a program. All proceeds benefit the WCF.
“Don’t miss the chance to be part of a meaningful evening that celebrates connection, generosity and the spirit of community,” Shanley says.
