Festival Napa Valley will honor Gordon Getty, a legend of the arts world and one of the Festival’s founding benefactors, at its Angels of the Arts Gala, to take place at San Francisco War Memorial’s Green Room on Thursday, March 7, 2024. The elegant evening includes intimate musical performances, a gourmet dinner, Napa wines, and tributes from vintners and world-renowned artists.

At the heart of Festival Napa Valley’s experience lies a commitment to pristine sound, an integral element that shapes the essence of the event. Meyer Sound solutions provided by San Francisco supplier Sound Image powered several of the festival’s venues, anchored by the main stage at the iconic Charles Krug winery.

Festival Napa Valley brings its signature celebration of music, food and wine to New York City for a special fundraiser benefiting Project Healthy Minds on Thursday, September 7, 2023. The event marks the New York debut of Taste of Napa and features musical performances by several Festival Napa Valley favorites.

“I was pleased to support this worthy cause with a $200,000 donation that will help contribute to a range of inspiring educational programs, free and affordable concerts, original programming for youth, and scholarships for talented young artists," said BLISS Car Wash CEO Vahid David Delrahim.

Tuesday’s concert, on the theme of “Seasons of Hope,” took the audience, arrayed in shirt sleeves and summery dresses, through contrasts as dramatic as those between the benign microclimate of Napa County and the fogged chill of San Francisco.

Every July, San Francisco dwellers and visitors alike make their way to the world-renowned California wine country for the annual Festival Napa Valley—a multi-day cultural and culinary event, featuring international stars and emerging talent in singing, dance, and instrumental music.

Last year’s gala surpassed all previous goals by raising $3.9 million; however, this year, the Arts for All Gala broke all records by achieving $4.2 million. Over the years, the 10-day event has raised millions to present free and affordable concerts, tuition-free training academies for young musicians, and inspiring arts education programs for Napa County public schools.

Festival Napa Valley raised a record-setting $4.2 million at its Arts for All Gala on Sunday, July 16, 2023. Proceeds fund inspiring educational programs, free and affordable concerts, original programming for youth, and scholarships for talented young artists. 

The Arts for All Gala summoned wine country royalty, San Francisco socials and a Nashville superstar.
