Step into vintage glamour at Twilight on the Terrace, the Foundation at Hearst Castle’s signature gala and auction set against the sweeping backdrop of California’s most iconic estate.
Inspired by the Roaring Twenties and Fashionable Thirties, this elegant evening celebrates ambition, imagination, and the audacity to reach beyond the horizon. Guests will enjoy live music by Alex Mendham and His Orchestra, curated light fare by Brick & Mortar Catering, and California’s finest spirits, wine, and craft beverages.
Guest emcee José Hernández, former NASA astronaut and engineer, embodies the spirit of reaching for the impossible. From migrant farmworker to space shuttle Discovery crew member, his story adds depth and inspiration to an already unforgettable evening.
Proceeds support the conservation and restoration of Hearst Castle and youth programs serving underserved middle school students.
This is not just a gala. It is a celebration of preservation, possibility, and the enduring legacy of Hearst Castle.
