Sapphire Celebration: 45 Years of Song and Sparkle
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2026 FROM 5:30PM-11:00PM
The Fillmore
(525 N 5th Street, Minneapolis)
Get ready for the most glamorous night of the year!
Begin your exclusive evening at 5:30 pm with a dazzling walk down our “Sapphire Carpet,” complete with glamorous 360-degree photo ops, before stepping into a luxurious VIP reception. Indulge in gourmet hors d’oeuvres, sip craft cocktails, explore our premier silent auction, and be swept up in immersive entertainment from the Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus.
At 7:30 pm, take your seat on the main floor for an elegant dinner and live show celebrating 45 years of Song and Sparkle. The program features unforgettable musical moments and the most powerful 15 minutes of the night—our Fund-A-Need giving opportunity.
Keep the magic going with our cheeky twist on Heads & Tails—Tops & Bottoms—so don’t forget your Afterglow Beads! Then, we’ll blow out the birthday candles, share cake, and turn up the energy for our Afterglow DJ Dance Party, keeping the celebration alive until 11pm with DJ Boomer Banks.
Just want to join for the Afterglow Party 7:30 pm-11:00 pm? A limited number of Afterglow-only tickets are $45 — because we’re turning 45 and we love a theme.
