Tampa Bay History Center Annual Gala
Golden Hour: Sunset in Sevilla
Presented by Gala Chairs Andrea Gonzmart Williams & Beau Williams
The Tampa Bay History Center Annual Gala is dedicated to celebrating our region’s heritage and ensuring its preservation for future generations. This year’s Gala is especially exciting as we honor our Chairs, Andrea Gonzmart Williams and Beau Williams, whose family name is closely tied to Tampa’s civic, cultural and hospitality history. Their connection to Tampa will help shape an evening that reflects both community legacy and local history.
This year, the Gala honors Chairs Andrea Gonzmart Williams and Beau Williams, with the theme, “Golden Hour: Sunset in Sevilla,” which reflects our new, earlier 5:30 p.m. start time, honors our Chairs’ family heritage, and celebrates Tampa’s deep historical connection to Spain.
A signature event of the fall season, the gala is known as one of Tampa’s most lively black-tie evenings. With an open-house format and no assigned seats, agenda, speeches, or auctions, the Gala allows sponsors and guests to socialize all evening. Luxurious dinner buffets and full bars are accompanied by live music and stunning Riverwalk views, bringing together Tampa’s founding families and newcomers alike, along with business leaders, philanthropists, and museum enthusiasts.
