Viva! “Fiesta en la Casa” at Casa del Herrero
Society Invites is most pleased to report that the 2nd Annual Old Spanish Days (OSD) celebration at Casa del Herrero is scheduled for Saturday, July 26, from 4-7:30 pm. Tickets are required and chauffeured free parking is offsite.
Casa del Herrero is Montecito’s only National Historic Landmark and celebrating its 100th Year Anniversary
this year.
Speaking directly with event Co-Chairs David Bolton, OSDEl Presidente 2023, and Gonzalo Sarmiento, they explained that the event formerly titled, Noche de Gala, has been reimagined as, Fiesta en la Casa. Bolton, “Fiesta returns to Montecito in the style of Noche de Gala, held for decades at the Coral Casino. There probably isn’t a better Fiesta location than Casa del Herrero with its classic architecture, picturesque gardens, and rich history. This year, we have a unique Fiesta experience for guests where Spanish-influenced gastronomy and entertainment meet the picturesque Mediterranean architecture of Montecito’s historic gem, Casa del Herrero. It will be fun. Viva la Fiesta, and Viva la Casa!”
Supporting her co-chairs is Event Chair Jenna Jobst Reichental,who added, “It is with great pride that we host our annual Fiesta en la Casa at Casa del Herrero, in celebration of the museum’s 100-year anniversary and Montecito’s enduring Spanish cultural and architectural legacy. Built in 1925, Casa del Herrero exemplifies the Spanish Colonial Revival style and has been a treasured symbol of our community for a century. We invite the public to join us for an evening of traditional music, authentic cuisine, fantastic Spanish wine, and festive camaraderie.”
The details, details, details for my dear readers! Fiesta en la Casa is an outdoor event at Casa del Herrero’s historic gardens, and yes, ladies; you have been forewarned about wearing your Jimmy Choo’s on the lawn!
Casa del Herrero’s garden staff tends not only flowers, but organic herbs and spices, which will be used as part of the farm-to table-tapas being served. Of course, there will be Spanish wines and cocktails, with perhaps a garden flower garnish.
Chris Fossek will be performing live Spanish guitar music. Dance performances include a special performance by 2023 Spirit of Fiesta Jack Harwood who is arriving on the zapatos de flamenco heels of his outstanding appearance in the Los Ángeles Ópera production, Ainadamar. Also dancing will be Spirit of Fiesta 2025 Natalia Treviño, and Junior Spirit of Fiesta 2025, Victoria Plascencia.
The event committee members working behind the scenes are Melody Ellison, Beth Esrey, Isabel Wendt, and Carolyn Williams.
Join, dance, sing and spread the viva!
