The Hitchcock Center for the Environment’s seventh annual Battle of the Botanicals will be held on Thursday, June 18, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at The Powerhouse at Amherst College. The 21+ event features local bartender and chef teams creating botanically inspired appetizer and cocktail pairings. Attendees vote for their favorites; the top three bartenders compete in a live mix-off judged by local celebrities. Proceeds support the Hitchcock Center’s environmental justice programs.
Early bird tickets are $100 through June 12, and $120 thereafter. Sponsorship tickets start at $500. To purchase tickets and for more information, visit the Hitchcock Center event page.
