2025 Garden Gala
Friday, August 29rd
6:30 - 9:00 PM
@ the Hub (1100 W. Allen St.)
Join us in our beautiful open-harvest community garden for an evening of local food and drink, music, and a raffle–all to raise money to support the Hub's mission.
Tickets
Gala tickets are $40 each and are available for purchase online (click here!) or in person at the event. Tickets ordered online will be available at entry at the event. Your ticket includes 2 drink tickets, a light meal from local vendors, tours of the Hub garden, on-site community activities, and live music from two local bands: Time Well Spent and Sleeping Trees.
This year, we're excited to host the Tiny Type Cart form Alexander Landerman, where you can pull your own Gala-themed prints available this night only! SoulCraft, Bloomington's forest and folk school, will share a fun, nature-themed community activity.
Fundraising Match Opportunity!
An anonymous donor has offered to match the first $5,000 raised at Gala. Come ready to rise to the occasion – and raise your hand to help us fund our low-barrier, community-building educational programming.
Raffle & Silent Auction
Enter the Gala raffle to win local goodies. Each ticket is just $1!
Additional items will be available in a silent auction, with winners being determined before the close of the event. Check back for details on prizes as the event nears.
