Romancing the Desert - August 16, 2008

Each year under the August full moon (or close to it) the Desert Centre is the site of a most magical evening. On this special night, you can stroll along our mile-long boardwalk sipping fine BC wines and feasting on local culinary creations.

 

The 8th Annual Romancing the Desert Gala evening occurred on July 28, 2007.  The event was a huge success and we raised over $8000!

 

We hope you can join us this year!
