Three area performing arts groups once again team up for the 3 rd Annual Pop-up Party Fundraiser on Friday July 21st. A Pop-Up Party is where guests meet at a secret, outdoor location to socialize and create great memories! The location is revealed at 2:00 p.m. on the day of the event. This year the party celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the “Summer of Love” that took place in San Francisco in the summer of 1967. While the original “Summer of Love” hosted close to 100, 000 people, this groovy local event is limited to 200 guests.
The Summer of Love Pop-Up Party benefits Black Hills Community Theatre, Performing Arts Center of Rapid City and Rapid City Children’s Chorus, all 501(c)3 tax-exempt organizations. Previous themes for this event have included Blue Moon Popup Party and Green Acres Popup Party.
Guests will meet at an exclusive, private outdoor location in the Black Hills to party, socialize and create memories, but the location is not revealed until the day of the party, July 21, at 2 p.m.
The Summer of Love location is about 20 minutes from downtown Rapid City. Guests prepare and bring their own specially crafted picnic dinners, linens, decorations, table settings and most importantly, creativity! Each guest receives a bottle of fine wine and a special gift, along with the opportunity to win incredible auction prizes.
This year’s live auction includes:
Four tickets to Lady Gaga’s sold-out World Tour Concert in Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena on August 11 (Lower Bowl Premium seats in Section 5) AND from the Wynn, Las Vegas, a 3 night stay in a 2 bedroom Salon Suite, with transportation to and from Hotel.
And a 4 night stay for 4 couples at Dakota Shy Estate and Vineyards including lunch for 8 with a private tour and tasting with founder, Todd Newman and 12 bottles of Dakota Shy Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc and 12 bottles of Dakota Shy Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
