Dress code or lack of one is business casual, but with a holiday twist! Think 'business on the bottom, party on the top' – or vice versa! Feel free to jazz things up with cocktail attire, jingle bells, twinkling lights, or even a fun holiday-themed t-shirt. And for those brave souls willing to battle the Florida heat, dust off that ugly sweater and show off your holiday spirit! Let's make this a festive and memorable occasion!

But that’s not all! We’ll be giving away some exciting door prizes, and we encourage you to bring your own to share, adding to the festive spirit of the evening.

Grand Villa of Clearwater

2750 Drew St Clearwater, FL 33759

Please note that this is a BLS Pinellas member only event. Want in on the action? If you're not a member yet, now's the perfect time to join! Sign up today! Don't miss out – Join or Renew Now!
