On Sunday July 18 from 6-9pm, Main Street Garden & Caf\u00e9 <\/a> is hosting a \u201cMidsummer Night Garden Party.\u201d The Soquel restaurant recently brought on talented chef Brad Briske (formerly of Gabriella Caf\u00e9) and Briske is hand selecting fresh, local ingredients to create a wonderful feast. For your $35 ticket ($40 at the door \u2013 reservations strongly encouraged), you receive a full dinner buffet and non-alcoholic beverages. Live music by a classical group is also included.

Garden Party attendees can bid on an array of silent auction items including wine; certificates for fitness and martial arts classes, acupuncture, and massages; clothing; ceramics; beauty products; a variety of services, and jewelry.
