The Academy of Our Lady of Peace invites you to join us on Saturday, April 22nd, 2023 for an evening of elegance on our historic North Terrace. Spring Soiree: Under the Blue Moon will feature four delectable food stations by the French Gourmet, cocktails, wine, and beer, a silent and live auction, live music and dancing!
A new take on our classic gala, the Spring Soiree will allow guests to mix and mingle throughout the night as they make their way between food stations, cocktail bars, auction stations, and the dance floor, though ample open seating will be available.
Complimentary valet parking and champagne by the glass are provided to all guests. Beer and wine will be hosted all evening with a cash bar available for spirits. Sponsors at the highest tiers will enjoy reserved lounge areas with reserved bottles of upgraded wine. All sponsorships include unlimited drinks wristbands.
