Event Details
Join us for an unforgettable winter evening at The CLWS Western Fest, where our community comes together to celebrate, connect, and support City of Lakes Waldorf School. The night begins at 6:30 PM with a lively social hour featuring appetizers, an open bar, photo booth, games and raffle baskets, followed by an inspiring live auction and program at 7:15 PM. The live auction will feature one-of-a-kind and highly coveted experiences — available exclusively to guests in the room. After the auction, stay and hit the dance floor from 8:00–10:00 PM, with music by DJ Omaur of the Minnesota Vikings. Western attire is encouraged and welcome, but not required.
