The event included live entertainment, headlined by Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie with Teddy Thompson. The benefit featured a picnic by local, Hamptons-based chefs preparing signature dishes with local and organic ingredients. Artisanal cocktails were served alongside local wines and craft beer. Other entertainment included lawn games and live animals.
In 2014, MF Productions produced the Second Biennial Family Picnic and Concert for the Perfect Earth Project. The event was held once again at the East Hampton home of renowned artist Cindy Sherman and featured a farm-fresh picnic and outdoor concert with performances by The Persuasions, G.E.

Over Labor Day weekend 2012, MF Productions produced the first fundraising event for the Azuero Earth Project on the property of renowned artist Cindy Sherman on Accabonac Harbor in East Hampton, New York. The afternoon concert event featured performances by Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, and Suzanne Vega. The festivities included an informal tapas picnic of locally sourced food and drink with a Panamanian accent. A limited edition set of Lenox bone china plates with images by artists Teresita Fern�ndez, April Gornik, Mary Heilmann, Maya Lin, Richard Prince, and Ed Ruscha were included with upper level ticket purchases and were also available for purchase.
