The Annual Gala gathers over 400 supporters for a celebration of the Loop’s rich cultural amenities and its continued transformation due to the work of the Chicago Loop Alliance Foundation and its partners. The 19th Annual Gala takes a spin on the traditional fundraiser with a strolling component along State Street, all while raising funds to support the Foundation’s projects and programs.

Annual Gala: 6:30-11 p.m.
Couch Place Alley (between State and Dearborn) to the Palmer House, a Hilton Hotel (17 E. Monroe)
The Big Easy came to the City of Big Shoulders for the 19th Annual Chicago Loop Alliance Foundation Gala. Before an evening of food, drinks, dancing and fun, guests strolled along State Street at Couch Place Alley (directly across from the Chicago Theatre) where the Windy City Ramblers and Sambrazilian warmed hundreds of Loop supporters up for a second line parade to the Palmer House, a Hilton Hotel.
Guests followed the band in a true second line parade fashion, waving handkerchiefs to the beat of the drumbeat, meandering to the Palmer House, a Hilton Hotel for a program and reception.
