Mission Moonlight Fandango; A Gala at the Old Mission

Old Mission Santa Barbara and the Santa Bárbara Mission Archive-Library Host a Fundraising Gala with Spanish flair on Saturday, October 19.

What better place for a festive Fandango-style party than historic Old Mission Santa Barbara? Mission Moonlight Fandango, a joint fundraising event for Mission Santa Barbara and the Santa Bárbara Mission Archive-Library, will be an elegant, fun-filled evening of food, music and dancing in the beautiful St. Francis Courtyard. Sunset hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and a silent auction will be followed by a delicious dinner inspired by Spanish and early California traditions, with Mission wine, live auction, and music/dance performances.  

“We are so excited to be hosting this special gala to benefit the Old Mission and SB Mission Archive-Library,” says Mission/Archive-Library Executive Director, Monica Orozco. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to welcome the community to the Mission for an evening of fun with the Franciscan Friars, while providing much-needed support for preservation and other important Mission and Archive-Library initiatives.”
