The Bennington Museum will host a fabulous Grand Gala Finale on Friday, December 14 from 7-10 pm, wrapping up three weeks of holiday excitement and events of the Festival of Trees. This event is the final opportunity to bid on exquisite gifts, holiday decorations, and decorated Christmas trees that have been generously donated as part of the museum’s silent auction. The auction is the museum’s largest fundraiser of the year and contains close to 100 beautiful items including trees of all sizes and themes, baskets filled with various culinary delights, wreaths, handcrafted items, framed prints and paintings, and gift certificates. You are sure to find the perfect gift for that special someone, while supporting the Bennington Museum. The auction items can be viewed throughout the museum galleries, and bid on at any time up until the conclusion of the Grand Gala Finale.

Begin the evening with delicious catered hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, and wine tasting. The beautifully decorated museum, along with the live music from the Richard Cherry Trio provides holiday ambience you are sure to enjoy. We wrap up the evening with spirited bidding and the announcement of the auction winners. Join in the fun and it could be your name that is called! Tickets for the Gala are $30/ person or $50/couple and can be purchased by calling the museum at 802-447-1571. Reservations are suggested.
