What is Grad Nite?
Napa Grad Nite or Napa Grad Night, is a colossal party for graduating Seniors from American Canyon High School, Calistoga High School, Justin Siena, Napa High School, New Technology High, St Helena High School, Valley Oak High School and Vintage High School.
Napa (Project Graduation Inc) has celebrated our high school grads with Grad Nite—a fun, safe all-night party just for graduates with prizes, games, food, music and more—for more than three decades.
“Grad Nite is an evening of non-stop entertainment and all-you-can-eat food. Students return home to their families in the early hours of the next day, safe and secure, grateful for a caring community ”

years serving napa’s seniors
Grad Nite was born in 1987 after several years of tragic auto accidents resulted in the senseless loss of young promising lives and a broken-hearted community.
Recognizing the need to do something, the community banded together to create an all-night event that would allow Seniors to celebrate their important achievement in a safe and sober environment.
650+
graduating students each year
This is a COLOSSAL PARTY! Every year 650-850 teens participate, with more attending each year.
Dozens of adults volunteer their time to plan, collect donations, decorate, host, and clean up so all the kids have to do is show up and celebrate!
$70K+
Raised from local donors
Project Graduation Inc.’s goal is to raise enough money from the community so that we can keep student admission prices low enough to where every Senior wanting to attend Grad Nite can do so. Project Graduation Inc. also donates tickets to students who might not otherwise be able to attend.
Each year thousands of dollars in prizes are donated too!
Get Involved!
Napa Grad Nite is an annual event created by Project Graduation Inc., a 501c(3) non-profit. Grad Nite is run entirely by community volunteers and relies almost exclusively on donations and corporate sponsorships for its funding. There are no government grants or funding, no administrative budget and no one is paid. Every dollar raised from the community for Grad Nite is applied toward hosting the event. The event is run by numerous community volunteers who step forward in the days and hours prior to and during the event to ensure the tradition continues each year. The Board of Directors that plans and runs Grad Nite consists of at least 14 volunteers from the community who work throughout the year to ensure its success.
