Gala 2023: Gateway to the East Side and the World

ESABA Gala will celebrate East Side assets that broaden your world: connections, traditions, experiences, and the future we are shaping together.

This year's ESABA Gala will kick off online at our pre-event via zoom on September 28 from 11:00am-12:00pm and will get you engaged in the positive impact and hopeful future of the East Side.

We'll start our vote for the 11th Annual East Side Business Awards and launch our Silent Auction.

The Gala will culminate this year with an in person event one week later on Thursday October 5th, 5:30pm - 7:30pm, at North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters-Carpenters Hall, 700 Olive St, St. Paul, MN 55130.

The in person event will feature activities, specials, food & drink, raffles, surprises and the conclusion of our Online Silent Auction.
