NYC&G was the proud media sponsor of the 2026 Wave Hill’s Garden Fête: A Celebration Under the Pergola honoring one of our most devoted champions, Katie Michel. The event took place on Thursday, May 28, at Wave Hill, and was co-chaired by Carrie Elston and Pamela Fontaine Salvatore. The event raised funds to support restoration of the park’s iconic Pergola, providing essential support for our world-class gardens and inspiring programs. Guests admired the sunset views over the Hudson River, while enjoying the seasonal cuisine, live music, and more. View photos from the event below.
