Art of Eating: 20th Anniversary Gala

Art of Eating Benefit Dinner

This beloved community tradition is takes place every July at Paicines Ranch. It’s a celebration of art, culture, and the vibrant community of San Benito County. This event is more than just a fantastic evening out. It’s an opportunity to make a real difference.
