Matinee Princess Dance: The 13th Annual Daddy-Daughter Dance Fundraiser

This year we will be having two identical events. A matinee from 12:00-2:30 PM and a moonlight from 5:00-7:30 PM. Please make sure you are purchasing tickets for the time you want to attend.

At the Princess Dance, dads and daughters will be enchanted by princes and princesses, enjoy a scrumptious meal catered by Old Hickory, and create memories together that will last a lifetime. Dads will also have an opportunity to point their earthly princess to their heavenly King through a promise ceremony. These events are specially designed to appeal to princesses from 2-13, but dads and princesses of any age may attend. All proceeds benefit The Sparrow’s Nest.
