Jazz After Dark
The 2026 Hyde-Addison PTA Gala
The Hyde-Addison Annual Gala is one of our most anticipated events of the year—an evening celebration typically held each spring for parents and adult members of the school and greater DC community. Along with the Great Envelope Race, it is one of our largest fundraising initiatives, helping to support vital programs, classroom resources and community-building efforts throughout the year.
We're excited to share that this year's Spring Gala will be Jazz After Dark--an evening inspired by Washington, DC's rich jazz legacy and the vibrant, creative spirit of our Hyde-Addison community.
Join us on Saturday, April 25 from 7-10 PM at St. John's Episcopal Church, located just across the street from the school, for a night of live music, great food, beer and wine, and plenty of good vibes. Drawing inspiration from DC's long-standing role as a hub for jazz--past and present--this evening will celebrate music as a universal language that brings people together.
This event is cocktail attire and adults-only, so be sure to book your babysitters now, and plan for a fun night out with fellow Hyde-Addison parents, teachers, staff and community supporters.
More information- including ticketing, sponsorship opportunities and more--to come!
Interested in helping shape the evening? New voices and ideas are always welcome and there's still time to join the Gala Planning Committee! Check out Konstella for meeting information (and zoom link).
Save the date--we can't wait to celebrate together!
Every level of support makes meaningful impact.
Our Spring Gala is powered by community generosity. Whether you give financially, donate goods or services, sponsor part of the event, or contribute an auction item, your support directly helps close the DCPS funding gap and enrich the experience of every Hyde-Addison student.

Sponsor an Event Item
Sponsorship is a powerful way to show your support while helping bring the gala to life. This includes funding a specific event element (bar, music, décor, dessert, photo booth, etc.), which comes with special perks at every level!
-
Donate a Silent or Live Auction Item
Auction donations are the heart of our gala fundraising. We welcome: live auction “big ticket” experiences/items OR silent auction items like gift cards, services, and experiences. Donation receipts are available!
Let’s take a brief look back at last year’s event!
The 2025 Gala theme was Havana Nights, and it was a night to remember! To the left, you can view a highlight reel capturing some of the fun, energy and memories from the event.
