Café Thirty-A Annual Christmas Charity Ball

To usher in the holiday season in style, Café Thirty-A will once again host its cherished Christmas Charity Ball on Saturday, December 5, benefiting Caring and Sharing of South Walton.

Held in honor of former longtime owner Harriet Crommelin, who passed away in 2023, this year’s festive evening will be presented by Harriet Crommelin Honorary Sponsor, The Ellis Family. From 6–10 p.m., the beloved 30A restaurant will close to the public and transform into a magical holiday wonderland filled with elegant seasonal décor, sparkling lights, and festive cheer.

Guests will arrive in style with complimentary valet service provided by All Access Coach and Leasing before being welcomed with a celebratory glass of champagne courtesy of Centennial Bank. Sponsors will also enjoy exclusive access to a VIP party presented by Barlovento, as well as a VIP Bar sponsored by Shellie Watson of The Watson Group, Keller Williams Realty.

Throughout the evening, Café Thirty-A’s acclaimed culinary team will serve an array of passed hors d’oeuvres, including hand-rolled sushi, alongside an abundant dinner buffet featuring the restaurant’s signature favorites. Guests can also indulge in a decadent dessert display and festive signature cocktails available from the cash bar, sponsored by All Access Coach and Leasing.

The celebration will continue with holiday entertainment and memorable experiences throughout the night, including music by DJ Casey, sponsored by Maranta Copy Co., and a festive photo booth experience from Epic Photo Co., courtesy of A BOHEME Design. A special visit from Santa himself will add an extra touch of holiday magic to the evening. Guests are encouraged to dress in evening attire, with black tie optional, for this elegant night of giving, celebration, and community spirit.

The evening will also feature one of the area’s largest silent auctions, showcasing donations from a variety of local businesses, along with a generous raffle package. One hundred percent of proceeds from the auction and raffle will directly benefit Caring and Sharing of South Walton and its mission to provide food and financial assistance to local families and individuals in need. In 2024, the annual Christmas Charity Ball raised a record-breaking $90,000 through ticket sales, donations, raffle entries, and auction sales.
