An Enchanting Evening of Ocean-Inspired Entertainment

Let the current carry you through a night of captivating entertainment. Dance the night away to the timeless sounds of Decades, a beloved Chico band performing hits from the 1940s to today. The evening reaches a sweet crescendo with our ever-popular live dessert auction, where the region’s most decadent confections are presented in a spirited bidding affair.

For our sponsored guests, artist Megan McArthur of Miss Megan Studios will create exquisite custom watercolor portraits — an elegant keepsake from an extraordinary night. Capture the moment in our beautifully styled photobooth, and conclude the evening with a breathtaking grand finale.
