You’re Invited: The 'Boldt Gala 2026 — Coastal Alchemy Awaits

On behalf of our Board and Event Committee, I’m delighted to invite you and your colleagues to join us for the Greater Eureka Chamber’s 2026 'Boldt Gala, on Friday, January 30, at a beautifully dressed-up version of The Acres.



Each year, this gathering shines as a meaningful celebration of the remarkable businesses and leaders who make our community thrive — mixed with a dash of wonder, a swirl of sparkle, and plenty of good cheer!

This year’s theme, Coastal Alchemy, celebrates our region’s wild natural beauty and its ever-shifting, mystical moods — where sea mist meets moonlight, and imagination transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. We warmly encourage you to come dressed according to your alchemical whims — think shimmer, seafoam, starlight, and a little magic.



This special event has sold out for the past three years, and we expect it will once again. We invite you to sponsor the 'Boldt Gala: Coastal Alchemy and enjoy a host of benefits, including:

✨ A block of tickets for you, your colleagues, and friends

✨ Custom recognition before, during, and after the event

✨ Excellent nosh and alchemy-inspired cocktails and mocktails

✨ Generous live and silent auctions

✨ Live performances — including the enchanting sounds of Claire Bent’s jazz band

Join us for a night where community meets magic, and celebration shimmers on every wave.
