Opera Grand Rapids' largest fundraising event of the year, the annual spring gala is a fun loving black tie event. Unlike any other in the City, the gala has quickly become known as the "place to be seen" each spring.

In recent years we have honored many vibrant couples who have made tremendous contributions to our community including: Jay and Betty VanAndel, Fred and Lena Meijer, Peter and Joan Secchia, and Dan and LouAnn Gaydou.
