Tickets are now on sale for Pier Under the Stars – the 29th annual benefit for the historic Ventura Pier on Saturday, October 5th, from 4:30pm – 7pm. Each year more than 500 residents and visitors attend this beachfront culinary event adjacent to the pier to sample the county’s best food, wine and spirits provided by over 25 area businesses.
Restaurants, cafes, wineries and breweries serve their signature dishes and beverages from tented booths along the seaside Promenade while guests enjoy live music by Ignition & dancing under the stars and an amazing silent auction. The sell-out event hosted by Pier into the Future–-a non-profit organization “is a much-anticipated community gathering of friends that raises funds for our beloved Pier”, said Pier Into the Future Executive Director Jenise Wagar-Hernandez.
The organization was founded by a group of dedicated community leaders, in partnership with the City of Ventura, to establish an endowment fund to maintain and enhance the historic Ventura Pier for future generations to enjoy. The organization has contributed over $1,168,000 to the City of Ventura over the last 31 years to enhance the Pier.
