Guests celebrating the Decades Birthday are invited to enjoy a festive 4-course dinner. Guest tickets (folks not having a Decades Birthday) are $35 when purchased in advance, or $50 if bought after September 24. Group reservations are also available: tables for 8 are $280, and tables for 10 are $350. All tickets must be purchased online.
If you’re turning 70, 80, 90, or even 100 in 2025 or 2026, this is your moment to shine. All celebrants are welcomed with complimentary dinner and warm community spirit at an event that traces its roots back to 1998, when Rosemarie Hocker first dreamed up the idea for a shared birthday celebration at Sea Ranch. Dinner will be served at food stations you will be able to pick and choose your menu choices along with a no host beer and wine bar.

A lasting legacy of Hocker’s vision, the Decades Birthday Party has been held almost every year since its inception, strengthening bonds and rekindling friendships among attendees. Tables will be available for celebrants to share personal memories—whether through photo albums, treasured keepsakes, school mementos, or military memorabilia—creating heartfelt connections across generations.
Community members who aren’t marking a milestone this year are encouraged to join the festivities in a different way: as hosts, waiters, or kitchen volunteers. Their contribution helps ensure this beloved tradition continues to flourish. Contact Melissa at MelissaGualalaArts@Gmail.com
