Heist at the Harbor
Friday, March 8, 2024 at 5:30 p.m.

Mischief and mystery. A classic who-done-it. Guests arrive to a gala affair benefiting the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. But, before they know it, the lights are cut, and they are shrouded in darkness. What will be revealed when the lights return? Could there be a master thief amongst us? Could the master thief be you?

On Friday, March 8, 2024 at 5:30 p.m., we will be holding our annual fundraiser, Heist at the Harbor. Guests will experience an evening of intrigue as they enjoy cocktails and dinner at the museum. To accompany the event, we will have an auction, which will be available online to the community from February 22, 2024 to March 7, 2024. View auction items.

As part of the evening’s festivities, we will be honoring Robyn Parker and Marie L Morrisroe, who will both receive our inaugural Admiral’s Award. Robyn and Marie have put the wind in our sails and continue to be a driving force toward the success of our organization.

For additional information, please contact Jessica Tade at jtade@sbmm.org or by calling (805) 962-8404.
