Los Angeles Gala Events
Updated December 2025
Los Angeles hosts some of the most visible gala events in the country, from awards season ceremonies to nonprofit fundraisers and cultural celebrations. Some events sell tickets to the public, while others are invitation only.

I attend selected events and list them here so readers can see what’s happening in the Los Angeles gala calendar. When I’ve attended an event myself, I mark it with a star.
I have attended these events and recommend them! Want to keep up with the gala events, award season, and what to wear to formal occasions?
Some events I attend are also included in the Gala Register, where I write about what the evening was actually like.
If you're interested in Awards Season, I've written several pieces about award shows and how they impact formal events year-round, here: Awards Season Explained
