This year's Soiree will feature shopping, sampling stops and live entertainment on a route through downtown Arlington Heights and will culminate with live music from Midwest Dueling Pianos on the Metropolis Stage. This lively, fundraising event is sure to be a great time. Attendees will Stroll and Shop with friends at many downtown businesses, while enjoying treats, wine/beer samples and a savory appetizer box. Live performers from Metropolis School of the Performing Arts will be highlighted along the route. Don't miss the ever popular RAFFLE, which will be displayed in the Metropolis Lobby. This year, we are excited to invite you back into the theatre with a performance by Midwest Dueling Pianos. This interactive musical comedy experience will have you singing, shouting, dancing and laughing as they perform some of music's greatest hits from multiple genres and take requests!

The more you shop, the more funds will be raised to help support Metropolis! So, Shop 'til You Drop while supporting both Metropolis and local small businesses.
