Shrimp Boil 2026! Come Celebrate 35 Years of LMC!

‍

We've been waiting 35 years to throw this party.

‍

On Monday, July 27, Lookout Mountain Conservancy hosts our 13th annual Shrimp Boil.

‍

(Note: the threat of afternoon storms required us to reschedule this event from Thursday night to Monday, July 27.) 

‍

Our annual party begins at 6 pm at Rockmont Park (1835 Old Wauhatchie Pike) in St. Elmo. For LMC in 2026, there's so much to celebrate together with you.

‍

  • LMC turns 35 this year. 
    ‍
  • With your help, we're protecting 22 acres of Hawkins Ridge forest in St. Elmo.
    ‍
  • The upcoming groundbreaking of our new Rockmont Park vision.
    ‍
  • The recent graduation of our two college-bound interns, Jakeria and Chad.
    ‍

To reserve your tickets, click here. For this year's Shrimp Boil, we're keeping all the good stuff:

‍

* Our annual Lowcountry Shrimp Boil dinner from Chef Miguel Morales and 1885 Grill, our generous title partner.

‍

‍

* Non-alcoholic drinks, wine and keg beer from local brewers.

‍

‍

* Live music, local musicians, good dancing and big-hearted bands.

‍

‍

* And so many friends.

‍

‍

‍

‍

All having the best time together.

‍

‍

It's held in the most gorgeous of places. (Rockmont Park is St. Elmo's best-kept secret.)

‍

‍

This Shrimp Boil, we're adding a new surprise.

‍

You'll get to experience Rockmont Park in an entirely new way.

‍

Our special tour guides will offer lantern-light history tours of Rockmont Park to end the evening.

‍

Getting home will look a little different than arriving.

‍

(Isn't that true in life?)

‍

‍

The evening begins at 6 pm. Golf carts will be available to shuttle guests from our new parking lot to the party spot.

‍

Tickets can be purchased here.

‍

Please come join us as we celebrate 35 years of LMC!

‍

It won't be the same without ... you!
