6 Spring Galas To Check Out In Bergen
It’s spring gala season! Get dressed up and support a good cause at these events happening in our county.
If you’re looking to get more involved in your community, you’ve come to the right place. The start of the warmer weather brings with it a slew of local galas—big, festive parties that honor a specific organization or cause. And there are a handful coming up in Bergen County, meaning you have a great excuse to get dressed up and out of the house…and, of course, they’re also a great way to give back to the community.
Here are a half-dozen spring galas to check out in Bergen, all run by local non-profits. You’re bound to find one or two that resonate with you!
Monday, April 17, 6 p.m. Habitat for Humanity and ReStore Bergen team up for their Homes, Hearts and Habitats Bergen Gala at Seasons in Washington Township.

Thursday, April 20, 6 p.m. The North Jersey Friendship House Adults with Autism Day Program will celebrate its 13th Anniversary Gala at The Venetian in Garfield.

Wednesday, April 26, 8:30 p.m. Englewood-based The Community Chest hosts its 90th Anniversary Celebration Gala at Montammy Golf Club in Alpine.
