You will enjoy live entertainment as you stroll the Embassy and tented areas, dance, visit our on-site artist, and be able to bid on our Silent Auction with special items reserved just for the evening.

Our auction is full of some truly amazing items with more being added regularly. There is art, food, travel, sports, wine, dining and lots of certificates to set aside as birthday or Christmas gifts (when you don’t know what to give to those who already have everything).
