Now in its 30th year, Chapman University’s American Celebration is one of Orange County’s most elegant events.

One of Southern California’s most highly anticipated events, Chapman University’s American Celebration has become an Orange County tradition! Now in its 30th year, American Celebration features two nights of dazzling entertainment provided by a cast of more than 100 singing and dancing students from Chapman’s acclaimed College of Performing Arts, with live orchestra, in fully produced scenes from Broadway’s hottest shows. Opening Night, on Friday, November 4, includes the live stage show plus a post-performance dessert reception with the talented student cast. The black-tie Gala Night, on Saturday, November 5, includes the stage show followed by a sumptuous dinner and dancing.

Every year, this not-to-be-missed extravaganza is produced by Chapman University, with vital support from some of the county’s most committed philanthropists and volunteers. In total, American Celebration has raised nearly $20 million for scholarships. Chapman is dedicated to providing all deserving students the funding assistance they need to acheive their dreams.

American Celebration: an event unlike any other in Orange County. It is, in a word, extraordinary.
