Classical Tahoe, formerly Lake Tahoe SummerFest, is putting on a one-of-a-kind gala and fundraiser to kick off the summer festival.

White Nights, the third annual gala, will be July 10 at the lakefront estate of Kern Schumacher in Incline Village.

White Nights is a nod toward the popular international diner en blanc pop-up events that invite guests in major cities around the globe to don their finest white attire and descend on secret locations that are revealed at the last moment, with a gourmet picnics in tow.

Chef Mark Estee will be overseeing the food, while Chris Brubeck, son of legendary artist Dave Brubeck, and his ensemble Triple Play perform.

Funds raised help benefit the fifth season of Classical Tahoe, which brings together 40 nationally recognized musicians to Lake Tahoe for a three-week festival from July 26-Aug. 13.

Tickets for the White Nights gala are $250 per person, $2,500 for a table of 1-. Attire is “summer white” wear. Reservations can be made online or by calling 775.298.0245.
