Events

Each year, The Gables partners with local experts, musicians, writers, actors, educators, community artists, and literary, historic, and scientific institutions to create and present engaging and meaningful programming that is open to the public. We seek to explore themes related to our historic site that represent our mission and vision. We honor our past and reckon with our hard histories, acknowledge, welcome, and celebrate our community, and provide support for immigrants and their families in order to make positive change. There is something for everyone to choose from: lectures, performances, specialty tours, kids and family activities, cooking and dance classes, and participation in local festivals. Check out what’s coming up and come join The Gables as we explore history and culture together and create a brighter future!
