2025 Gala

You're invited to spend an unforgettable evening in Disco Paradise, featuring the legendary KC and The Sunshine Band live in concert.

Disco Paradise, the Great Lakes Center for the Arts 2025 Gala, invites you to boogie down with the legendary KC and The Sunshine Band for a night of glittering fun and unforgettable music. Start the evening with cocktails and dinner accompanied by an exciting live auction. Then, let the disco fever take over as KC and The Sunshine Band take the stage for a live concert. But the party doesn’t stop there—join us for an afterparty where you can "shake, shake, shake" with inspired bites, signature cocktails, and more groovy vibes to keep the celebration alive.

Proceeds from the Gala benefit the Great Lakes Center for the Arts mission—to inspire, entertain, educate, and serve all in Northern Michigan year-round by presenting exceptional experiences across the full spectrum of the performing arts and offering impactful educational opportunities.
