The Boundary Waters Gala is our annual celebration of America's most visited Wilderness and the community that protects it.

Each year, we bring together supporters, storytellers, and leaders to honor Canoe Country, share updates on our work, and inspire action to permanently protect this special place for future generations.

While we are still planning the details for the 2026 Gala, you can look back on last year’s inspiring event, which featured conservationist Terry Tempest Williams, U.S. Senator Tina Smith, and an evening of stories, connection, and support for the Wilderness.
