Event Sponsorship

Tea with Clara
Montana Ballet Company’s Tea with Clara is a special event for families and children. This high tea at the Baxter Ballroom is a beloved Bozeman holiday event, where 200 guests delight in tea time specialties, meet Clara, watch Nutcracker excerpts from Montana Ballet Company, and join our performers to dance on the stage. MBC’s 2024 Tea with Clara will take place on Sunday, November 24th at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
CONNECTIONS Gala
