LAST CALL: Handful of Tickets Still Available for High Octane Ball Saturday, May 20 at Belle Haven Country Club
Audrey Hepburn and Breakfast at Tiffany's are Theme for Annual Old Town Festival of Speed and Style Gala
ALEXANDRIA, VA – “We have about 20 tickets left and that’s it,” said Jason Yates in a call with Zebra last night. Yates is one of the co-sponsors of the 2023 High Octane Ball, which is the glamorous “night before” portion of The Old Town Festival of Speed & Style presented by Burke & Herbert Bank, happening on Saturday, May 20 from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m at Belle Haven Country Club, 6023 Fort Hunt Road, Alexandria VA 22307.
The event is a charitable gala that directly benefits two chosen charities — ALIVE! Alexandria and The Campagna Center.
For this year, the High-Octane Ball highlights “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Organizers say, “Audrey Hepburn embodied style and elegance in the 1950’s and 60’s and beyond. Let’s dress up and have an amazing evening in homage to vintage cars and our icon of the year.”
Tickets are $125, and include great food, libation, desserts, dancing, a live and silent auction, rare and exceptional cars and much merriment.
Dress is formal, period formal, and racing-inspired apparel with a nod toward the style of Audrey Hepburn. Parking is free and valet.
