Get ready for a Midsummer Night's Dream Gala in the Park at Glen Echo Park on Saturday, May 17, 2025!

Join us for an enchanted evening fundraiser at a place like no other: 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, and the return of the after-dinner dance party—and of course, rides on the Dentzel Carousel all night long.

We will honor outstanding individuals, including Ilana Trachtman, whose film "Ain't No Back To A Merry-Go-Round" tells the important story of the 1960 protests that resulted in the integration of Glen Echo Amusement Park in 1961. Join Gala Co-Chairs Marsha Ashley & Dhani Jones as well as Barbara & John Martin for the most fun gala in Washington!
