Toast to the Casa

Casa Royale

Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens is once again rolling out the red carpet for one of San Clemente’s most anticipated annual events. Set for Saturday, September 13, Toast to the Casa: Casa Royale promises an unforgettable night filled with high style, immersive entertainment, and James Bond–inspired surprises.

This year’s dazzling soirée will honor longtime supporters Lou Leto and Sherri Colligan, whose years of generous service and welcoming spirit have become synonymous with the nonprofit’s mission. As President’s Circle members and volunteer greeters, their support touches everything from docent tours to beloved traditions like Christmas Nights at the Casa.

From the moment guests arrive, the experience is designed to impress. A vintage luxury car sets the tone, while Casa’s iconic keyhole door opens to reveal an “elegant champagne girl” lounging in a sparkling champagne bowl. Bond-worthy touches await at every turn: blackjack and craps tables in the art gallery, signature martinis from two full bars, and a James Bond look-alike circulating for photos. Live music will fill the air with sultry Bond classics, while interactive fun—like poker darts, a 360-degree camera, and themed décor—rounds out the evening of mystery and style.

“Casa Royale is more than just a party,” says Kylie Travis, Executive Director of Operations and Programming. “It’s a night of celebration that helps sustain our programming, preserve this historic landmark, and connect the community through the arts.”

Tickets start at $175 through September 1 and include access to entertainment, food, and drinks. Sponsorship and vendor opportunities are also available.
