Put on your fancy skirts and suspenders; it’s party time.

The Young Professionals Association of Chattanooga will host its annual fundraiser, Southern Soirée, Friday at 7 p.m. in Miller Plaza.

The event includes plenty of live music, locally inspired cocktails and Southern cuisine. Tickets are $45. Cocktail attire is recommended, although “Southern-inspired” dress is also appropriate.

Proceeds from the event will benefit YPAC programming initiatives. This year, proceeds will also support YPAC’s community partner, Step-Up Chattanooga, which seeks to help high school students prepare for success in college and the workforce.

Guests will enjoy catering from The Bitter Alibi, and beverages from Chattanooga Brewing Co. and Panoram Imports. M&M Productions will provide music, and Christina Marie Photography will be capturing the evening.

YPAC’s mission is to help create opportunities for young professionals to connect and grow into the future leaders of Chattanooga.
