This year’s Party at the Point theme was "Dancing Through the Decades," and the fundraiser was held on Nov. 17 at Historic Spanish Point.

Guests listened to the beat of Tampa’s DeLeon Band, sipped decade-appropriate cocktails and explored vintage cars, themed lounges, games and more. Patrons enjoyed a magical evening on Little Sarasota Bay among the mangroves wrapped in white lights — all to benefit Historic Spanish Point.
