St. Paul’s Senior Services will host SUMMERFEST 2026, its signature annual fundraising celebration, on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at 5 p.m. at Humphreys by the Bay on Shelter Island. The tropical-inspired evening will bring together community leaders, supporters, and friends of St. Paul’s for an unforgettable evening of great food, refreshing drinks, live music, exciting auction bidding, dancing, and plenty of fun, all in support of renovations at St. Paul’s McColl Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, ensuring San Diego seniors continue to receive the compassionate care they deserve. St. Paul’s McColl Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center provides around-the-clock nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, and specialized support for older adults recovering from illness, injury, or surgery, helping them regain strength, independence, and quality of life. “SUMMERFEST is always one of the most joyful nights of the year for St. Paul’s because it brings our community together around a mission that matters deeply,” said Michael McHale, President and CEO of St. Paul’s Senior Services. “Every ticket, sponsorship and donation helps strengthen the care and services that older adults and their families rely on across San Diego.” Set on the picturesque concert lawn of one of San Diego’s most iconic waterfront music venues, SUMMERFEST offers a truly unforgettable setting for an evening of fun and philanthropy. The outdoor event invites guests to skip the formal gala attire and show up in comfortable, colorful island-inspired clothing for a casual, vibrant evening by the bay. Guests will enjoy live music by Republic of Music, Lucky Lounge gaming tables, a green screen photo experience, hosted bar, silent auction, RaffleMania, food stations, a live auction and an open dance floor overlooking the beautiful waterfront setting. Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to relax, reconnect with friends, strike up new conversations, capture memorable photos, and experience engaging activities at their own pace. “SUMMERFEST is one of those rare events that truly has something for everyone,” said Yolanda Thomas, SUMMERFEST fan and longtime supporter. “I brought my husband, my adult children, and my grandchildren, and we all found something to enjoy. It’s a fun evening for the whole family, and knowing it supports St. Paul’s seniors makes it even more meaningful.” Individual tickets are $300, with sponsorship opportunities beginning at just $1,250 for those wishing to make an even greater impact.
