The Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History Gala is Back! Celebrating the MAH's 30th Anniversary.
About this Event

Join us for an unforgettable night as we celebrate 30 years of creativity, connection, and community at the MAH. The Red Ball returns—more dazzling than ever—with an evening designed to delight every sense.

Experience awe-inspiring music, immersive performances, and cocktails crafted just for the occasion. Savor a delectable seated dinner, explore a curated live and silent art auction, and gather with friends—new and old—who care about the cultural life of Santa Cruz County.

On the rooftop Sculpture Garden, DJ Spooky will transform the night sky into a dance floor as we celebrate under the stars. Create something unexpected with the Made Fresh Crew, and cheer as we crown the Red Ball’s Queen and King.

This is an evening to reconnect with friends and the spirit of Santa Cruz, celebrate this vibrant place we call home, and experience the MAH as you’ve never seen it before.
