California Indian Museum and Cultural Center 30th Anniversary Gala
For 30 years, the California Indian Museum and Cultural Center (CIMCC) has been a vital and unique resource advancing understanding of California Indian history, cultures, and contemporary leadership. On Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 5:00 pm, CIMCC will celebrate three decades of impact with an anniversary gala —an inspiring evening honoring Indigenous excellence, celebrating community, and looking toward the next generation of Native leadership.
The event will showcase the richness, resilience, and creativity of Native communities while raising critical funds to advance CIMCC’s work to preserve and share cultural knowledge, strengthen intergenerational connections, empower Native youth and families, and nurture Indigenous leadership for generations to come.
Guests will be treated to an unforgettable, 6-course Native traditional food dinner prepared by award-winning Chef Justin Pioche, a 2023 James Beard Award Finalist for Best Chef of the Southwest (AZ, NM, NV, OK) and Food Network Chopped Champion. The evening will also feature a cocktail reception, silent auction, inspiring stories of CIMCC’s impact, and vibrant Native entertainment—all set against the beautiful backdrop of Balletto Vineyards in Santa Rosa.
