Whether you’re new to the club or a longtime member, this comprehensive guide to our annual events will help you plan your year and make the most of your membership experience.

Winter Gatherings: Elegance in the Cooler Months

As the year begins, Burlingame comes alive with festive winter gatherings. January opens with our New Year’s Reception, where members toast to new beginnings in our beautifully appointed main hall. February brings our Valentine’s Gala, an evening of fine dining and dancing that has become a cherished tradition for couples. Our Winter Wellness Weekend in late February offers members a chance to rejuvenate with specialized spa treatments, fitness workshops, and healthy cuisine demonstrations from our executive chef.

The highlight of the winter season is our annual Frost & Fire Festival in early March, where members enjoy outdoor fire pits, comfort food stations, and live music under the stars – a perfect transition from winter to spring that showcases our community’s spirit regardless of the weather.

Spring Celebrations: Renewal and Recreation

Spring at Burlingame brings a fresh energy to our social calendar. April kicks off with the Spring Tennis Tournament, bringing friendly competition to our courts, followed by the elegant Spring Garden Party where members stroll through our landscaped grounds enjoying champagne and seasonal canapés.

May features our highly anticipated Kentucky Derby Watch Party, complete with signature mint juleps and a best-hat contest that members prepare for weeks in advance. The month concludes with our Memorial Day Weekend Barbecue, a family-friendly event that makes full use of our outdoor facilities and marks the unofficial start of summer at the club.
