Event Attire Details
Event Attire Details
For the Music Note Gala, we recommend black and white cocktail attire. As our festivities will unfold outdoors on the Montecito Club's Upper Lawn, a wrap or a light coat would be a thoughtful addition to ensure your comfort as the evening air may grow cool. Please also note that the event will be held on real turf, so we suggest selecting your footwear with this in mind.
