Esprit Saturday Gala
The Celestial Ball!
Without a doubt, the Saturday Gala is the most elegant and exciting event at Esprit. This party culminates the week's activities and everyone has a chance to pull out their finest and spend the day getting ready for an evening of dining, dancing, socializing, and reminiscing.
This year's theme is science fiction and you are invited to enjoy the fantastic decor and bring your own costumes to our very own Celestial Ball. Science fiction is intentionally broad so you can wear nearly every style of dress from any time-traveling or fantasy era: Victorian steampunk, Barbarella gold lamé, Back to the Future 80's prom wear, electroluminiscent wire woven in your hair, or just about anything else your imagination can come up with!
We will have a full evening of great music by the Seattle-based classic rock and roll band The Fabulous Boomers, food, and decor at The Red Lion to create the mood. We will also be holding our charity auction featuring great gifts donated by local businesses and our Resource Mall vendors. All proceeds will go to the local Clallam County hospice.
The party features a no-host cocktail hour before dinner to chat with old and new friends and show off your outfit. A full and leisurely dinner will be served with plenty of time for talking, socializing with other tables, and picture-taking.
After dinner, we'll have another great live band to dish out an evening of live dance music. For those who really want to rock out, The Nasty Habits play punked-out 80's covers (schedule/map) in town.
The Saturday Gala is open to the public for a $5 cover charge (donated to charity). Esprit staff and a local security guard will provide security and screen guests. There will be a no-host bar serving alcohol so you must be 21 or over.
Slumber Party
Don't forget the Slumber Party! The Slumber Party is your chance to slip into something comfortable and pile into a room with your pillows and blankets for what is always a loud, fun, and at times emotional get together. Snacks are provided and we will have moderators to guide the evening with comfortable and fun topics.
The party is held in the Hospitality Suite (Hollywood Beach Room, the former "Room 148").
