Moonlit Magic and Artistic Vibes at James Hubbell’s Harvest Moon Dinner

San Diego’s art scene is about to get a whole lot more magical. The Ilan-Lael Foundation’s Annual Harvest Moon Dinner is back, promising an enchanted evening under the stars.

Imagine a starlit sky, the gentle strum of live music, and the legacy of beloved artist James Hubbell floating in the air—it’s the perfect recipe for a night to remember in Julian’s breathtaking countryside.

Harvest Moon Dinner by Ilan Lael Foundation

A Toast to Art, Nature, and Community

Get ready to raise your glasses filled with local vineyard wines as we celebrate the life of San Diego’s artistic luminary, James Hubbell.

This isn’t just any dinner party—it’s a full-on sensory experience. We’re talking seasonal delights served al fresco, toes tapping to live tunes, and the chance to rub elbows with some of the coolest local artists around.

From Palette to Plate: The Inaugural Visiting Artist Program

The Ilan-Lael Foundation is unveiling its first-ever Visiting Artist Program, and it’s set to be a showstopper. Eight talented artists have been soaking up inspiration from the Ilan-Lael grounds, channeling Hubbell’s love for nature and art into their work.

You’ll find plein air paintings, captivating photographs, and soul-stirring poetry—all up for grabs in a silent auction.

See you there!

Clear your schedule for September 20 because, from 4 PM to 9 PM, the Ilan-Lael Foundation is throwing open its doors at 930 Orchard Lane, Julian.

Harvest Moon Dinner tickets are going for $175 per person or $350 for you and your plus-one. Want to make it a real party? Gather your crew and sponsor a table for eight. Give the Ilan-Lael Foundation a call at (760) 765-3427 to snag your tickets. For more info, click here.

Under that harvest moon, with art in the air and wine in hand, you’ll be glad you joined the festivities.

See you there, San Diego!
