The Moonlight Cultural Foundations mission build and engage community through transformative arts experiences by providing philanthropic support for Moonlight Stage Productions and Moonlight Youth Theatre’s arts education programs.

As we gear up for our biggest fundraising event of the year, we invite our guests to enjoy an evening under the stars with a cocktail hour, dinner, dessert, silent and live auction, and well as performances from our youth theatre and professional Moonlight actor’s. Funds raised from this event will go directly towards our programing and campaigns.

The Foundation's most extensive campaign to date raised $675,000 to pay for the state-of-the-art sound and lighting equipment used at The Moonlight. Other fundraising campaigns have provided stage lighting, pay for the new stage house's feasibility study, and plans for the entryway and the north box office structure. Recently, the Foundation paid for the lawn chairs that are used by patrons at The Moonlight.

In addition to these campaigns, the Foundation has raised funds to support actor and orchestra salaries and pay for The Moonlight's marketing programs. Between the Foundation and the City of Vista's support, the Moonlight Amphitheatre has become the region's premier outdoor venue attracting audiences locally, regionally, and from across the country.

The Foundation's support of the City of Vista includes sponsoring Jingle Terrace Park. This holiday event premiered in 2020 and had a partnership with the San Diego Food Bank. This drive-thru holiday light experience in Brengle Terrace Park will be held annually in the park each December.

The Foundation is proud to support the City of Vista and its cultural and community service programs.
