About this Event
The Coral Gables Museum’s 2026 Gala presents a renewed vision of what a cultural celebration can be. This year’s edition looks ahead, using a futuristic design concept to highlight how Coral Gables is entering a new phase in its civic and cultural development.
The Gala serves as a moment to reflect on where the city is heading and the Museum’s role in shaping that trajectory through exhibitions, programs, and community engagement.
The event celebrates the past while presenting the future as a space for innovation and collaboration. The Museum becomes an immersive setting where design, technology, and contemporary aesthetics converge, signaling a shift toward a more forward-thinking cultural identity for The City Beautiful. The Gala positions itself as the place where that conversation begins.
At its core, the event is a catalyst for community leadership. It brings together individuals and organizations who influence the city’s growth, offering them a platform to connect around shared priorities: cultural development, civic responsibility, and the long-term wellbeing of Coral Gables. Participation in the Gala directly supports the Museum’s work and reinforces the value of cultural institutions in building a strong civic fabric.
What You’ll Experience
Guests will enter an environment shaped by light, contemporary design, and digital-inspired elements that signal the city’s next era. The evening blends visual impact with a refined culinary program and an overall atmosphere built to showcase the intersection of culture, creativity, and technological progress.
The program also highlights the contributions of community leaders whose work has strengthened Coral Gables. Through this year’s recognitions, the Museum underscores the people and values guiding the city toward its future.
The Gala remains one of Coral Gables’ most anticipated gatherings, consistently drawing influential figures from across civic, philanthropic, business, and cultural sectors. The 2026 edition continues this tradition by creating an experience that is both elegant and meaningful—one that looks ahead rather than simply looking back.
