About the Event

Patrons of the Prado provides greatest-needs funding, empowering nine treasured Balboa Park institutions to further their missions; and funds our signature education initiative Bucks4Buses (B4B), which provides enrichment and transportation access for San Diego County K-12 schoolchildren to Balboa Park’s world-class treasures.

This year’s event, “MASTERPIECE: Elegance of the Elements,” is inspired by the Four Elements: Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. Guests will enjoy an evening beginning with craft cocktails and tray-passed hors d’oeuvres, followed by a three-course meal prepared by the Pamplemousse Grille. The evening features continuous live entertainment, curated silent and live auction items, and the very popular PoP the Cork Opportunity drawing. Dancing music provided by The Mighty Untouchables. End the evening with a spectacular view San Diego from the Rooftop balcony.
