Sausalito Celebrates Sinatra's 100th Birthday at Winterfest Ball
This December 12 the legendary Frank Sinatra would have turned 100. In celebration of this anniversary there are parties slated for across the country, including one Friday, December 11 in Sausalito which promises to be a signature Sinatra evening.
The annual Naughty or Nice Ball will not only launch Winterfest weekend in Sausalito, but celebrate The Chairman’s centennial. The Winterfest Tent in downtown Sausalito will be transformed into an elegant Stardust Lounge replete with chandeliers; well-known “Rat Pack” impersonators from Las Vegas and their tribute band will be entertaining guests all evening. At 9 p.m. (the stroke of midnight in New York), guests will be treated to a presentation by special guest “Marilyn Monroe” and birthday cake to toast the anniversary of the iconic crooner’s 100th birthday.
The price of admission includes champagne, fine wines and a full bar with mixologists pouring Frankie’s favorite cocktails (think Jack Daniels) as well as fabulous foods reminiscent of this bygone era provided by leading local restaurants (Angelino, Barrel House, Café DiVino, Cibo, Copita, Poggio, Seafood Peddler, Sushi Ran, The Spinnaker and Trident to name a few). Mr. Wayne Kaleck of local retail fame will be the Master of Ceremonies for this star-studded evening which starts at 6:30 p.m.
Get your tickets (suggest reserving a table) before December 1st and the glamorous evening of wine, dinner, dancing and your favorite vintage cocktails is only $125. After that, or at the door, the price is $150. Needless to say, cocktail attire is most apropos.
