Gala Season
Black-tie galas, summer benefits, and dinners
Every confirmed East End fundraiser, sortable by month, cause, and dress code.
A note on dress codes: Black Tie Optional means a tuxedo is welcome but a dark suit works too, while Hamptons Chic signals relaxed summer linen for daytime benefits. Every gala here benefits a vetted East End nonprofit, and ticket tiers typically run from Junior Committee up to Table Sponsor.
Nothing matches all of that at once. Even out here, some combinations don't exist — try dropping a filter.
No upcoming galas.
Already happened this season (4) — annual events, so these show roughly when to expect them next year
