- Parking: There is plenty of onsite parking for you and your guests.
- Live Auction: We’d like to provide a sneak-peek of our exciting auction items!
- Attire: We often get questions about what to wear to Idol. The short answer: whatever makes you feel great for a night out! We want everyone to come in something comfortable and festive that you might wear to an evening on the town. If you’d like to lean into the theme, we’re encouraging guests to come “Red Carpet Ready.” And if modern red carpets are any indication, there’s plenty of room to have fun with it. Think Silver Screen Showstoppers—a nod to movie glamour, a favorite film character, or just a touch of Hollywood sparkle. Nothing intimidating required! Cocktail attire, a favorite dress, a sharp jacket, bold accessories, or simply something that makes you feel fabulous all work beautifully.
