Time is Running Out on UnGala Giveaway at The Ringling

October 14, 2020 – Sarasota

The time is drawing near for The Ringling’s UnGala Getaway Giveaway! Ticket sales close Oct. 17, 2020 and one lucky winner will be randomly selected during a Facebook Live that evening at 6 p.m.  The prize package includes a plethora of fabulous prizes and surprises, all centered around a stay in The Ringling’s exclusive and storied guest cottage. 

The Ringling developed the Getaway Giveaway in response to having to postpone UnGala until 2021 due to COVID-19. Christina Fraser, assistant director said, “UnGala was such a great success last year that we really wanted to keep the party going, even though we can’t all be together in person. We came up with the UnGala Getaway Giveaway to allow our winner to have an unprecedented Ringling experience. We can’t wait to welcome our winner onto the campus for the experience of a lifetime!” 

The prize package features several perks that are not afforded to the general public. Included are an overnight stay for two in the exclusive Ringling Guest Cottage, a scrumptious dinner prepared by Metz Culinary in the fabulous Belvedere Tower of Ca’d’ Zan, breakfast, also by Metz, served bayside on Ca d ’Zan’s Terrace, a private tour of Ca’d’Zan with Steven High, Executive Director and 2 full days of admission to The Museum of Art and Circus Museum. Fraser also promises additional splendid surprises that will be personally curated to the interests of the guests. 

Tickets sales are brisk and a limited number of tickets are available. The cost is 100.00 per ticket and may be purchased at ringling.org. This is an incredible value, as a rental for the Belvedere Tower alone costs $6000. Follow The Ringling on Facebook to view the drawing live from the Ca’ d’Zan Oct. 17 at 6 p.m. Additionally, the museum is partnering with local restaurants who will be providing a special, “UnGala Menu” that evening. Diners may order for take-away or dine-in from Grove, Mattison’s City Grille, Mattison’s Forty-one, Michael’s on East, Pier 22, The Ringling Grillroom.. A portion of the sales will be donated to the museum.
