Attendees can expect a lively, festive atmosphere with specialty cocktails, mocktails, and light bites provided by Gino’s at The Halles. Adding to the evening’s entertainment, Season Ammons will perform pre-show, setting the tone for a fun and dynamic program. The event will be emceed by Candice Cowin, hospitality manager at Lulu’s in Round Top.

Tickets are available at two levels. General admission tickets are $100 and include open seating along with a custom tote designed by ARTS after-school students. VIP tickets are $150 and offer reserved front-row seating, the student-designed tote, and a unique scarf also created by ARTS students.
