An unforgettable evening of art, elegance, and enchantment at CCB’s annual fundraiser, “A Toast to the Stansburys”

This event is a heartfelt collaboration between Chico Community Ballet and the beautifully preserved Stansbury Home—the very landmark that inspires the setting for CCB’s beloved holiday production, A Very Chico Nutcracker. For one magical evening, this Victorian treasure will come alive with music, dance, and the spirit of ballet.

So, don't miss this delightful evening of wine, history, and celebrating the performing arts – raise a glass in honor of Chico’s cultural legacy!

This annual fundraiser supports Chico Community Ballet’s mission to provide artistic opportunities for dancers of all ages, fund costumes and productions, and keep the performing arts thriving in our community.

Guests will enjoy an evening celebrating the intersection of Chico’s history, culture, and creativity—while helping preserve the arts for generations to come.
