This Party Has A Purpose

February 21, 2026 • 4:30 – 7:00 PM

The Mitten Building, Redlands, California

A Night of Wine, Music, and Community

Join us for one of Redlands’ most beloved annual events — the Rotary Club of Redlands’ Red Wine & Blues Fundraiser, where good taste meets great purpose.

This lively evening brings together friends, neighbors, and community leaders to enjoy fine wines, craft beers, gourmet appetizers, and live jazz and blues music, all while raising funds for programs that make a real difference locally and globally.

Guests will have the chance to bid on unique live and silent auction items, sample offerings from premier wineries and breweries, and enjoy music performed by talented local and former Redlands students. The historic Mitten Building will once again be transformed into an elegant, buzzing social setting — filled with conversation, generosity, and the spirit of Rotary.

This Party Has a Purpose

Proceeds from Red Wine & Blues directly benefit the Redlands Rotary Club Foundation, which supports the mission of Rotary — “Service Above Self.”

Since 1992, the Foundation has distributed over $1.2 million to projects that serve our neighbors around the corner and around the world.

Your participation helps fund:

• Scholarships for Redlands high school students
• Books and literacy programs for local schools
• Programs for teens and adults with disabilities
• Youth music and speech competitions
• International service projects improving lives globally

When you attend, sponsor, or donate to this event, you become a partner in community service and global goodwill.

Event Highlights

• Fine wines & craft beers from leading vintners and brewers
• Gourmet appetizers prepared by local culinary partners
• Live jazz & blues entertainment from talented local artists
• Silent & live auctions featuring exclusive experiences and items
