Christmas in July is a summer spin-off of the beloved Ladies Night event that has been hosted at The Tower for over 15 years. Since Toscana’s Ristorante came under new ownership by Liberty and Alex Santiago two years ago, we’ve received numerous requests from both vendor partners and guests to bring the magic of Ladies Night to the summertime — and we listened.

We’ve thoughtfully selected a Friday evening after the Stanislaus County Fair to maximize attendance and create the perfect kickoff to the weekend. 

🎟️ Guest Admission is $15 and includes:

A glass of wine or champagne
One raffle ticket to win from a selection of approximately 20 curated prizes
🎶 Enjoy upbeat vibes with live DJ entertainment
🍽️ Toscana’s will be open and serving food for dine-in guests
🍷 Vendors will receive 2 drink tickets redeemable for beer, wine, champagne, or soda (Must be 21+ with ID for alcohol consumption)

🤝 Vendor Participation Requirement:
We kindly ask each vendor to donate an item from their shop to be included in the guest door prize raffle. This is a fun way to showcase your brand and engage with attendees.

This festive summer event is all about community, connection, and cross-promotion — and we can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Transparency Statement

At Toscana’s Ristorante, we believe in being fully transparent with our community and vendor partners. Christmas in July is a for-profit event and is not being marketed or presented as a fundraiser of any kind.

All admission and vendor fees contribute directly to covering the costs associated with hosting a high-quality event, including but not limited to:

Live entertainment and DJ services
Public music licensing fees required by law
Event marketing efforts (printed materials, signage, banners, fliers, etc.)
Staffing and logistical support to organize and host the event successfully
Our goal is to create a vibrant and well-attended summer celebration that supports local businesses, engages the community, and offers a memorable experience for all involved.

At Toscana’s Ristorante, we have seen the power of collaboration to create successful, high-impact events. Our experience has shown that events perform best when all participating vendors actively contribute to marketing efforts. Therefore, cross-promotion is not optional — it is essential.

As part of your participation in any Toscana’s-hosted event, you are expected to promote the event a minimum of once per week on Instagram for the four weeks leading up to the event date.

This includes:

• Posting to your main Instagram feed (graphics, videos, or behind-the-scenes content getting followers excited to attend our event)
• Sharing to your Instagram stories (with event flyers, countdowns, or interactive polls)
• Tagging @toscanas_restaurant in all event related content posted or shared
• We understand that every business is unique, but to maintain fairness and maximize visibility for all participants, only businesses with an active Instagram presence capable of participating in this minimum promotional requirement will be accepted as vendors.

Please proceed with application if you agree to the minimum marketing requirements. 

Each vendor will be assigned a 5' x 10' space to display all goods for sale, marketing signage, and promotional materials. Please plan your setup to remain fully contained within this space.

Vendors are responsible for bringing their own setup equipment, including:

Tables with floor-length table covers (required)
Chairs (optional)
Any display racks, signage, or promotional materials
