LAHM Annual Gala 2026

Latest update • March 25, 2026

Join Us for the 2026 Louis Armstrong House Museum Gala!

We are thrilled to invite you to an unforgettable evening celebrating the extraordinary artistry, leadership, and enduring impact of Wynton Marsalis, while supporting the legacy and future of the Louis Armstrong House Museum.  

Join us on Thursday, June 18, 2026, at 583 Park Avenue for an inspiring night of music, community, and support for our mission.

This year we are proud to honor Wynton Marsalis, a towering figure in jazz, a Pulitzer Prize winning composer, visionary bandleader, master educator, and one of the most influential cultural leaders of our time. From his virtuosic trumpet performances to his unwavering dedication to preserving and advancing America’s great musical art form, Wynton Marsalis has shaped the sound, spirit, and future of jazz for generations. His commitment to artistry, history, and community reflects the very values that define the legacy of Louis Armstrong. 

This year also marks the centennial of the Hot Fives, and we are proud to continue this historic celebration at LAHM, where we will honor their enduring legacy as part of this year’s gala.

The evening will bring together friends, supporters, and jazz lovers for a spectacular celebration and our big band performance.
