Join us on Saturday, May 17, 2025 for A Midsummer Night's Dream Gala in the Park, an enchanted evening fundraiser at Glen Echo Park!
The night begins with festive cocktails and a silent auction in the Park’s iconic Bumper Car Pavilion, followed by dinner and honors in the historic Spanish Ballroom, the return of the after-dinner dance party, and—of course—rides on the 104-year-old Dentzel Carousel.
Join Gala Co-Chairs Marsha Ashley & Dhani Jones and Barbara & John Martin for the most fun gala in Washington!
