The 22nd Annual Gulf Coast Gala benefiting the Museum of the Gulf Coast is right around the corner and a limited number of seats are available.

The Gala, set for Saturday at the Carl Parker Multipurpose Center, 1800 Lakeshore Drive, will feature rare whiskey flights, speciality drink offerings, Buckstin craft beer, an expanded silent auction, elegant meal and concert entertainment by The 3 Redneck Tenors. 

Museum Director Tom Neal said they have had a good response from the public, especially with the new format this year and with bringing back The 3 Redneck Tenors, “Back by popular demand,” he added. 

This year’s gala is not a black tie event. Instead it is cocktail and business attire. 

Doors open early at 5:30 p.m. April 26 to allow patrons a chance to mingle and check out the whiskey flights and speciality drinks (not included in ticket price) and hors d’oeuvres. There are also non-alcoholic beverages available. 

The 2025 Hall of Fame, Gala Honorees are Wade and Laurie Phillips. 

Proceeds from the gala go to the Museum to help with events such as Family Fun Day and Museum operations. 

This year’s corporate sponsor is Motiva. 

Tickets, which are $150, may be purchased online at museumofthegulfcoast.org, by calling 409-982-7000 and asking for Becky or Tom or by calling 409-720-9912.
