The Gaslamp Quarter Is Turning 150…Which Means It’s Time For A Party!

The Gaslamp Quarter Association is celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Gaslamp Quarter under the stars in the Gaslamp on on November 7th.

The Lamplighter Gala will be held on the center of Fifth Avenue. The magical evening includes delectable cuisines, inspired libations, a Rabbitville Rabbit live auction, and of course, live music!

The Lamplighter Gala, hosted by Trilogy Real Estate Management, begins with a reception at the Hard Rock Hotel at 5:30 p.m., where guests can participate in a silent auction of incredible auction packages as well as enjoy appetizer selections from 10 Gaslamp Quarter restaurants.

After the reception, guests can make their way to Fifth Avenue, decorated with twinkling lights, hanging florals, and gold motifs of rabbits and carrots, to enjoy a three-course meal with wine and craft beer pairings.
