Gala 2022: Legacy, Bridging Tradition Into Today

This year's ESABA Gala will kick off online on September 29 from 11:00am - 12:00pm and will get you engaged in the positive impact and hopeful future of the East Side. We'll vote for the 10th Annual East Side Business Awards and launch our Online Silent Auction. The ZOOM Kick off is free.

The Gala will culminate this year with an in person event one week later on Thursday October, 6:00pm - 8:00pm, at Saint Paul Brewing Company. The party will feature activities, specials, food & drink, raffles, surprises and the conclusion of our Online Silent Auction.

Themed “Legacy: Bridging Tradition into Today,” these events will celebrate the ongoing impact of family investments, businesses of all sizes, community cooperation and the opportunity to build relationships of power and voice standing on enduring East Side assets. A key feature of the event will be to highlight legacy businesses that have passed down between generations, legacies of impact in development, and our 10th Annual East Side Business Awards including two special Legacy Awards.
