La Jolla's Athenaeum Starts Fall with Parisian Pizzaz


Galas are considered a socialite event, filled with gowns, proper grammar, and exquisite food. La Jolla’s Athenaeum Music and Arts Library Annual Gala should be no different. The Gala is famous for its spectacular venue, theme, food, and decorations. The theme for this year’s gala is "Midnight in Paris," which should prove to be incomparable to other galas of years past.

The Gala features a gorgeous French dinner catered by the La Jolla Hyatt Regency. Following the dinner there will be live entertainment and dancing. It is customary for guests to dress the part, and the costumes should prove to be wonderful! A reconstructed Le Marche aux Puces, the famous Parisian flea market, provides an ambient area for guests to meander.

The Gala is the Athenaeum’s largest annual fundraiser. Proceeds from the gala and silent auction go to the Music and Arts Library to support their mission. The Athenaeum is Southern California’s only membership only library and is the oldest cultural institution in La Jolla. The event takes place on September 8, 2012 at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library in La Jolla. Tickets are $200, for general admission, or $300. Admission includes valet service, open bar, dinner, dancing, and live entertainment.

Also, while in La Jolla further enrich your cultural experience by visiting Thumbprint Gallery on Kline Street, in La Jolla, only three blocks from the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library, to learn more about local artists. The art gallery in La Jolla is open Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 12-4pm.
