Ovation Gala 2026 | Benefiting the Baldwin Pops

Soldiers and starlets, the Canteen is open!

The Baldwin Pops invites you to the 2026 Ovation Gala: Hollywood Canteen, a swing dancing fundraiser on Saturday, June 20 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Fairhope Civic Center. Put on your best 1940s Hollywood glamour or wartime style and join us for a night of live big band music, good food, and dancing that goes until the last song plays.

Featuring the Mobile Big Band Society with opening act the Blue Anchor Belles, the evening includes dinner, drinks, a coffee bar, silent auction, photo booth, a swing dance competition open to all, door prizes, and best dressed awards.

Tickets are $50 each. Sponsorship packages are available and include tickets and event recognition at the gala. To become a sponsor or donate a silent auction item, contact baldwinpopsband@gmail.com.

The Baldwin Pops has called Baldwin County home since 1997, bringing free live music to the community for nearly three decades. Your support helps us continue the tradition and keep the music playing.
