The Sultana Education Foundation’s Annual Gala is a party with a mission – raising $100,000+ each year to underwrite scholarship programs and support specific capital initiatives. You can look forward to world-class entertainment, a crowd of 400+, fantastic food, an open bar, and an unparalleled waterfront venue.
Sultana’s Annual Gala raises funds to provide scholarships and tuition support for schools, students, and individual children participating in the Foundation’s award winning programs. Funds raised at the Gala help make it possible for Sultana to serve almost 10,000 K-12 students annually.
Following a high-energy performance in 2022, New York City’s own Hudson Horns will return for the Sultana Education Foundation’s 2023 Annual Gala. Featuring some of the most talented musicians on the East Coast (seriously, these guys are incredible), Hudson Horns keeps the dance floor packed late into the evening.
The Sultana Education Foundation is proud to have its 2023 Annual Gala return to Clovelly Nurseries, an 800-acre waterfront farm just south of Chestertown. With a hilltop venue that provides a panoramic view of the Chester River (Rollin’ on the River – get it?), we couldn’t think of a better location for our biggest party of the year.
What is the date and time of the 2023 Annual Gala? The Gala will be held on Saturday, May 13, 2023 beginning at 6:00pm A buffet dinner is served beginning at 6:30pm with music and dancing following at around 8:00pm. The fun will continue until around 10:00pm or until everyone is exhausted!

If you are coordinating with other ticket holders to form a table, please get your entire table list finalized before contacting us.

Are dinner seats assigned? To avoid chaos, all Gala dinner seating is assigned. If you purchase tickets but are not part of a reserved table, Sultana will assign you to a table with other guests. This is a great chance to meet fun new people!
What do I wear? Cocktail attire is the order of the day…but remember that you will be on grass so spike heels can be a challenge! Come ready to dance.
