Hearts & Stars Gala: Carnaval do Brasil

Little Lighthouse Foundation’s (“LLF”) 15th annual Hearts & Stars Gala will take place on Saturday, March 15th, 2024 from 9 pm-2 am.

​Guests are invited to dance the night away at the Carnaval do Brasil-themed party with special performances. The night will consist of 5 hours of open bar and featured bite’s from some of South Florida’s top restaurants— paired with over-the-top production designed to ensure that guests experience a night to remember.

Limited VIP tickets are available. VIP ticket holders have access to the event through the VIP Registration Entrance and to the VIP Lounge within the VIP Riser. You will have access to visit friends at their VIP tables, but a VIP Ticket does not mean that you have purchased a VIP Table or space at a VIP table. You do not have reserved seating at a VIP Table, but you do have access to the VIP Lounge's Bar.

If you would like information on purchasing an VIP Table (nightclub style) which includes VIP tickets for ten (10) guests and unlimited bottle service please contact Jonathan Babicka at [email protected].
