BDFête – a party for our community!
July 27 at 5:30pm
Bates College Library Quad (in front of the main entrance to Alumni Gymnasium at 130 Central Avenue)
Tickets are tiered between $25-$400
Join us for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in celebration of the 42nd annual Bates Dance Festival. This is a family-friendly and celebratory fundraiser event that will include remarks from BDF artists and special guests and will conclude with the BDF X CRĀV Battle Finals and Performance. Tickets are tiered: A $25 Party Ticket gets you hors d’oeuvres and one drink ticket at the party, while a $50 Community Ticket gets you all those things plus admission to the BDF X CRĀV Finals and Performance. A $200 Solo Patron Ticket includes an invitation to a private pre-Fete Patron Party at 5pm with a champagne toast to the artists, plus hors d’oeuvres and an open bar at BDFête, and admission to the BDF X CRĀV Finals and Performance. The $400 Patron Duo gets you all the same benefits of the Patron Solo ticket… but for two!
All funds raised at BDFête go directly towards keeping our programming accessible to all, including our free and pay-what-you-can performances.
