Join us for An Evening in 1776, an elegant, music filled event recalling the patriotic community spirit of America’s founding era. Metro Bis is reserved for this bespoke fundraising event. It promises to be an unforgettable celebration!
An optional Madeira Reception, prior to the Gala, will kick off the night's festivities and feature live harp music. Reception guests will enjoy complimentary tastes of Madeira, from the Portuguese island of the same name, and sparkling wine. Madeira is reportedly the wine selected by George Washington to toast the signing of the Declaration of Independence! Favored by the likes of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams, Madeira symbolizes the spirit of 1776.

Gala guests will delight in hearty hors d’oeuvres with a colonial flair, live entertainment, pop up performances, and a silent auction. A cash bar will be available throughout the evening.
Madeira Reception + Gala tickets are $200 per person. Gala only tickets are $150 per person.
Deadline to purchase tickets is April 16, 2026. For more information and to buy tickets, visit our website at https://simsbury250th.weebly.com/april-26-gala-at-metro-bis.html
