Grape Expectations

The 18th annual Grape Expectations gala will celebrate two important anniversaries — the Long Beach Public Library Foundation’s 25th and the Long Beach Public Library’s 125th year of service to the Long Beach community. The Library Foundation provides crucial funding to the Library as it serves on the front lines of our city’s most pressing issues, including its resources that bridge educational, digital, economic, and cultural divides.

Gala guests will sample fine California wines from distributors across the state and appetizers from local restaurants, bid on exciting and unique auction items, dine on a four-course gourmet dinner perfectly paired with fine wines, and enjoy the evening's live entertainment.
