The Hermitage Gala

The Hermitage Gala

The annual Hermitage Gala is a black-tie event held every fall that benefits the Andrew Jackson Foundation’s education and public programming, as well as assists the presidential home with its ongoing preservation and restoration projects. For the first time, The Hermitage Gala will be held in a tented ballroom on the storied estate of President Jackson. Entertainment will include a performance by award-winning country singer and songwriter Phil Vassar, as well as music from country music/string band The Howlin’ Brothers. An art and travel auction will also take place.

The gala, which benefits the education programs and assists the ongoing preservation and restoration efforts at the home of the 7th president, will kick off with a live performance The Howlin’ Brothers and include an art and travel auction with dinner before Vassar takes the stage.

Serving as co-chairs for the event are Marees Choppin, Irwin Fisher, Pam Koban and DeeDee Wade, with Mary Nelson Wade as the honorary chair. Amos Gott, of AmosEvents, is leading the design and execution of the event.

In addition to the entertainment, the presentation of the Lewis R. Donelson Award, named after the great-grandson of Andrew Jackson Donelson and longtime supporter of The Hermitage, will be awarded.
