NUTCRACKER MAGIC CHILDREN'S GALA

ANNUAL BENEFIT GALA—SAVE THE DATE 12.5.26

What a magical day it was! This year’s sold out Nutcracker Magic Children’s Gala transported guests to the world of The Nutcracker. Guests of all ages enjoyed a festive Nutcracker tea, hands-on crafts, engaging activities, and special appearances from beloved Nutcracker characters—along with a few extra-special surprises. Following the gala, attendees experienced the matinee performance of America’s First Nutcracker, continuing a tradition that has delighted families for generations.

A new highlight debuted this year: our Snow Queen table sponsors and their guests were treated to a shimmering post-performance snowfall on stage with the Snow Queen and her Cavalier—a truly unforgettable finale!

Thank you to our incredible Co-Chairs: Katie Daines Lindsay, Emilia Moore, and Carly Larson.
