Experience an unforgettable evening at the Tampa Bay History Center’s Annual Gala on November 8, 2024, from 7-11 p.m., with Gala Chairs Duncan and Jessica Belser. As the exclusive fundraiser for our region’s Smithsonian Affiliate, this year’s theme, Ships and Saddles, celebrates our maritime and agricultural heritage. Your support ensures vital funding for our education programs.

“The Tampa Bay History Center is a world-class living museum that tells Tampa’s story — from many voices over hundreds of years — with media and experiences that are easy and fun for visitors to appreciate. We love how it makes our city shine,” says Duncan Belser.

Please take note: Paper tickets will not be issued, and attire is Black Tie, with Boots and Bolos optional. Click here to peruse images from our past galas and immerse yourself in the anticipation of this year’s special event.
