Description

Join us for an unforgettable day of live music, delectable food, awards and community as we mark 25 years of transforming lives in Monterey County.

Rancho Cielo has empowered thousands of lives through education, job training and community support — and now it’s time to celebrate everything we’ve accomplished together. 

Festivities kick off with a welcome and a tribute to our roots, honoring our founder, Judge John Phillips and recognizing longstanding champions and advocates.

Our program includes a special appeal, giving you the opportunity to be a part of a new era at Rancho Cielo, as well as stories from students and alumni whose lives have been forever changed by our mission-driven organization.

Guests will enjoy a culinary experience like no other, showcasing premier local chefs and Rancho Cielo’s Drummond Culinary Academy students, paired with local fine wines and craft beers, while taking in the high-energy sounds of John Nava & the Latin Jazz Collective.

Don’t miss the grand finale — a powerhouse Tribute to Ray Charles brought to life by blues legend Chris Cain and former Santana crooner Tony Lindsay.

This isn’t just a party. It’s an inclusive celebration of impact. Be there. Raise a glass. Feel the love!

Tickets include entertainment and culinary experience (wine and beer available for purchase). All proceeds benefit our programs and youth.
