2012 Green Gala September 28, 2012

The Green Gala is an annual fundraiser for the Community Environmental Council, whose mission is to reduce the Santa Barbara region’s dependence on fossil fuels in one generation (Fossil Free by ’33).

The fundraiser will feature a stunning green space filled with wildly costumed performance artists and a feast for the senses. Guests will be welcomed by airbrushed Green Greeters and stilt walkers as they make their way through the beautiful room filled with trees hung with moss and dripping with LED lights. A Green Glam bar will feature henna artists, leafy accessories, and palm readers. Guests will also be invited to bid on carefully curated silent auction items, which include a week in a private home in Hanalei, Kauai and much more.

Guests can also enjoy delights by Full of Life Flatbread, Lieff Winery, Telegraph Brewery and 123 Tequila, as well as a decadent dessert buffet. Throughout the night, rock star LA DJ Derek Montiero will spin his amazing mix of dance music, while attendees experience the Rhythm Cave – a “room” created out of LED screens with amazing images from nature, taking you from the middle of a forest, to underwater kelp beds, to a windswept mountain top.

Green Gala event planner Merryl Brown Events has won several prestigious national awards for producing minimal waste and creatively incorporating repurposed and borrowed elements.
