‘Party of the Decade’ planned for September Fête
The stakes continue to rise for top-shelf charity events.
Dubbed “Fête to the Power of 10,” the gala will include pricey cocktails, dinner and performances staged by Stephen Mills at the Butler Dance Education Center (tables go for $10,000; individual tickets for $1,000). Tickets for the performance — celebrating Mills’ 10 years as artistic director — cost $250.
The party will migrate to the Seaholm Power Plant for an evening-long event (tickets: $95-$125).
Neiman Marcus will present a fashion runway show there featuring Carolina Herrera designs. Celebrity chefs for the event will include Kenzo Tran (Piranha Killer Sushi), Harvey Harris (Siena Ristorante Toscana) and David Garrido (Garrido’s Restaurant).
The all-star Fete committee includes top connectors like author Kristin Armstrong, lawyer Becky Beaver, community leader Karen Landa, philanthropist Susan Lubin, former TV reporter Crystal Cotti.
The following social dance party is expected to continue until midnight. For more information, call 476-9151 or link here. Tickets go on sale May 10.
