The evening started with a private viewing of the Festival of Arts fine art show.

Singer Melissa Manchester — known for songs such as “You Should Hear How She Talks About You,” “Don’t Cry Out Loud” and “Through the Eyes of Love” — then performed on the festival green with the Citrus College Blue Note Orchestra.

The evening wrapped up with a performance of this summer’s Pageant of the Masters production, “The Time Machine.”
