2026 Annual Awards Gala - An Evening in the Emerald City
Follow the Yellow Brick Road straight into a world gleaming in green at the 2026 Annual Awards Gala: An Evening in the Emerald City. For one short night, this black-tie celebration invites you to leave your Kansas behind and enter a place with something exquisite everywhere you look, and wonders like you’ve never seen. Beneath an emerald glow, you’ll savor delightful dishes, celebratory cocktails, and the company of Sitka’s most swankified community members.
The train to the Emerald City departs on Saturday, February 28th at 5:30 pm. Guests are encouraged to arrive in classic black-tie attire with touches of wonder inspired by Oz. Sparkling greens, glints of gold, swirling patterns, and whimsical accents are all welcome. Ruby slippers are optional, an ounce of emerald flair will be rewarded.
