Join Metropolis In Celebrating Its 20th Anniversary With SUNDAY SOIREE

Metropolis Performing Arts Centre will host its 20th Anniversary Sunday Soiree on Sunday, October 29, 2023 from 4:30–9:00 pm in the Metropolis Ballroom & Metropolis Performing Arts Centre Theatre.

Returning after a three-year pivot, Sunday Soiree is Metropolis' popular fundraiser featuring booth-style shopping with local vendors and artists, a dazzling raffle, food & drink, and ending the evening with live entertainment on the Metropolis stage. This year's event marks 20 years of annual Sunday Soiree tradition. The event is expected to sell out the full capacity of 250 tickets, with attendees including local residents, social leaders, and business owners. Tickets are $50 per person and are now available at https://app.donorview.com/zpkob.

Highlighting this commemorative event is a Lisa Rock Entertainment Concert onstage from 7:30–9:00 pm. From 4:30–7:30pm, after three years of employing a Stroll & Shop style soiree, this year's festivities will move back into the Metropolis Ballroom, hosting an evening of shopping with local vendors and something for everyone.
