| | The MUSE Gala Celebrates 75 Years of CommunitySaturday, August 15, 5 PM, at the Center
The MUSE Gala is the Center’s annual signature event. If you’ve not previously attended our gala, you can expect a wonderful celebration under the stars filled with inspiration, creativity, and community. We’ve always honored someone with strong ties to the community at our event, but this year, going into our 75th birthday, we want to celebrate all of YOU!
To do this, we’re traveling through time! We’ll revisit Beervana, celebrating the 2000s. Visit the 90s and snap a polaroid while sipping a Cosmo or other decade-themed cocktails. |

| Continue back through the decades before landing ultimately in 1952, the year Dr. Carroll Andrews and wife Katherine made it possible for Sonoma to have this wonderful historic building as its Community Center. A decadent dinner by the girl & the fig will be served alfresco. During the meal, guests will enjoy a variety show à la Ed Sullivan. Our BIG SHOW will feature local entertainers and world-class artists. It will be a night to remember, with a few surprises and a lot of community spirit. The dress code is “chic time travel”-dress to impress from your favorite decade, from the fifties to now.
Celebrate three-quarters of a century of community and support the Sonoma Community Center in this fabulous and important fundraiser for the Center. Whether you’re totally tubular or the bees knees, we can’t wait to see you at MUSE! |
