Join us at the City Opera House for a fun and unforgettable evening as Michael's Place celebrates 25 years serving our community.
All proceeds directly support grieving children, teens, and adults in our region.
Some Like It Yacht brings the smooth, sun-soaked hits that defined the late ’70s and early ’80s—the ultimate escape soundtrack. Featuring the music of The Doobie Brothers, Hall & Oates, Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, Toto, The Eagles, and more, it’s the laid-back, beach-lovin’ cousin of Classic Rock: high-fidelity soft rock that feels like a warm summer breeze, a cool cocktail, and a passport to paradise.
Tickets - $40
Upgrade your night with VIP tickets for $60 and enjoy a pre-show gathering at 5:30 pm with:
🌴Complimentary signature Margarita on the 'Yacht' Rocks
🌴Food by Jimmy John’s
🌴Reserved seating
This is music for daydreamers, road-trippers, and anyone who’s ever leaned on a song to escape—or to heal. Come sing along, sway a little, and support a cause that truly matters. Grab your captain’s hat and set sail!
