Join us at the Gilmore Car Museum’s Spring Gala for an extraordinary night of music, food and entertainment.
Under a canopy of twinkling lights, the spring gala unfolds as an enchanting evening of elegance and charm. Guests glide through the venue in their finest attire, polished silverware and delicate fine china on every table. The air hums with the soft melodies of live music, as laughter and conversation swirl around a silent auction featuring rare treasures, each bid a silent testament to generosity. The night is a celebration of both style and purpose, all benefitting the preservation of history through the automobile. It’s an affair where the past and present merge in a seamless dance of luxury and philanthropy.
