Athenaeum 27th Annual Gala
1008 Wall Street, San Diego, 92037
Age Limit: 21+
Cost: $250
Since 1990, our largest fundraiser and social event features a theme. We enjoy live music and sassy dancing and a parade of partygoers on Wall Street and Girard Avenue. Get into the spirit of the theme by wearing extravagant costumes or cocktail attire. Cocktails and live entertainment on the patio and in the library begin as dusk falls, followed by a dinner catered by the La Jolla Hyatt Regency. After dinner there will be dancing and a silent auction. The Gala Committee transforms the library into an alternate world. Artists on the committee always design appropriate and beautiful décor, much of which goes on sale in the library. Proceeds from the gala support the Athenaeum’s mission.
