Newport Beach restaurants helped raise more than $528,000 at the 37th annual Hoag Summer Fest held at Newport Dunes, presented by Woodside Credit.

The event, which was attended by more than 1,400 guests, helped support Boldly Hoag, the Hoag Hospital Foundation’s campaign to expand the Sun Family Campus in Irvine with specialty services in cancer, digestive, surgical, and women’s health.

Set against the scenic Back Bay with an Italian Riviera theme, this year’s Summer Fest featured the event’s largest-ever culinary lineup of 40 restaurants, including more than a dozen from Newport Beach.
