Milestone gala supports the work of the DCL Foundation.
Douglas County Libraries and the DCL Foundation invite the community to an enchanting evening of celebration and support at the 10th annual Fête des Fables Gala: Beauty and the Beast. The event will be held Friday, September 19, at the historic Highlands Ranch Mansion, with proceeds benefiting the DCL Foundation and its work to deliver funding and resources that support important library services and programs.
This year’s gala promises a night to remember, with French-inspired elegance woven into every detail, from fine dining and curated cocktails to live performances and artful entertainment. Guests will savor passed hors d’oeuvres, caviar and Champagne tastings, and a decadent dinner amid the glow of a thousand candles.
Additional experiences include a classic silent auction featuring unique packages, wine pull, and glam station where guests can indulge in perfume sampling, custom nail art, and a collection of men’s berets.
“Our 10th Fête is a milestone—10 years of celebrating stories, supporting access to literacy, and growing community together,” said Jaime Gotlieb, Community Services and Partnership Manager at Douglas County Libraries. “We’re grateful to our presenting sponsor, Fransen Pittman, and to everyone who helps bring this magical night to life.”
Event details and tickets are available at DCL.org/fete-des-fables.
Douglas County Libraries elevates our community by inspiring a love of reading, discovery and connection.
