Ordway 2025 Ruby Garden Gala
Thursday, June 26, 2025
6:00 PM
The Ordway invites you to the Ruby Garden Gala on Thursday, June 26, for an evening celebrating the Ordway's 40th Anniversary! Your evening will unfold when you walk the ruby red carpet into shimmering facets of gourmet cuisine, silent and live auctions, musical performances, dancing, and plenty of sparkle!
The Garden Gala raises critical funds that help the Ordway produce dynamic and joyful theater, concerts, and arts learning initiatives. Your participation also benefits the Arts Partnership-a unique collaboration among the Minnesota Opera, Ordway, The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and the Schubert Club-and our collective ability to maintain the Ordway venue and connect with communities through compelling performances.
