2023 Gala: A Night with Chicago

One of the most legendary rock & roll bands of all time, Chicago, will bring their signature sound to the party of the season – the Great Lakes Center for the Arts’ 2023 Gala.

Enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring Chicago - LIVE in concert. After the show, guests are encouraged to head upstairs to the Rooftop Afterparty, sponsored by Todd Wenzel Automotive, to dance the night away under the stars and enjoy tasty, well-crafted cocktails and inspired bites on the Center’s version of the Willis Tower.

This annual fundraiser benefits the mission of the Great Lakes Center for the Arts – to inspire, entertain, educate, and serve all in Northern Michigan year-round by presenting exceptional experiences across the full spectrum of the performing arts and offering impactful educational opportunities.
