Where Art, History & Community Come Together Since 1964

An Intimate Holiday Fireworks Spectacular
July 4th, 2025
8pm - Fireworks finale
gates open at 7:30pm

Enjoy stunningly beautiful live music, Chemigrams art exhibition curated by Nolan Preece, plus six more galleries throughout four floors, viewings in the theatre, and participate in our silent auction!













This is a truly special annual event in a unique venue away from the crowds, designed to offer a relaxing, tasteful, and festive event with one-of-a-kind views of the fireworks.  Enjoy live music, hors d'oeuvres by Secret Service, light refreshments, a unique silent auction, seven fine art galleries, theatre, library and lounge.














The Chemigrams Exhibition, curated by reknown chemigramist Nolan Preece, is the seasonal exhibition and provides a dynamic, perfect pairing with the legendary VC fireworks show. 

Our front grounds have been newly redesigned and upgraded by Bighorn Tree Service, including a flagstone pathway and numerous plantings.  Garden Seats include tables, chairs and linens for an elevated, intimate experience.

The views of the town and Mount Davidson, fireworks, and historic setting simply cannot be beat; with seating limited to 54 people, this holiday fundraising event will sell out quickly.

Gates Open: 7:30pm
Silent Auction:  7:30pm-9:00pm
Live Music & Refreshments:  8:00pm-conclusion of fireworks

Event participants also have the unique opportunity to rent individual guest rooms and stay overnight, avoiding traffic, and extending their holiday celebration on the Comstock.
