VBWFF CINEMA DE LA MER - The Super Secret White Party!
Saturday, November 10 2018
*** TOP SECRET ***
It's that time of year! Our much anticipated Super Secret White Party - the largest outdoor dinner and a movie event in Vero Beach takes place Saturday, November 10th at 5:00 pm.
CINEMA DE LA MER is here!
This fabulous event is "by invitation only" and we all can make it an event to remember. Inspired by the famous Diner en Blanc, the day consists of guests all dressed in white, bringing a picnic dinner (or available for purchase) to enjoy at the event.
What's back: the entertaining Roving Rafflers showcasing incredible raffle items such as a walk-on SPEAKING role in an upcoming film and special wines from Harvey Kornicks, etc. We are again partnered with Celebrity Cruises and Frosch Travel. VBWFF Passes will be on sale at a discount for party-goers.
What's new this year: sparkling wine for guests, plus TWO FULL BARS with beer and liquor, pre-purchased boxed dinners from Chef Ashley Allison, a DJ to dance the night away, and of course, an independent film screening. And MANY MORE FUN SURPRISES AWAIT!
