Known as a Beacon of Light in Oakland, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church presents its 2026 Gala, Lighting Up Oakland!

Join us for this very special celebration of our community of generosity and hope where we will raise funds to support some of Oakland's brightest lights - our programs that feed the hungry, educate the needy, take guns off the street, preserve our environment, foster justice, and spread our world with music!

Set in the festive atmosphere at the California Ballroom in Oakland, friends, supporters, and special guests will enjoy enjoy live music, delicious food and drinks, take part in both live and silent auctions, have fun with special prize drawings, and capture the moment at our photo booth.

The Gala will spotlight those uplifted by our collective outreach, highlight the programs that support them, and enable you to actively participate while having fun.

Come celebrate, connect, and help us light the way!
