2026 Paramount Gala w/ Lukas Nelson

Join the 111th Anniversary Gala at the Paramount Theatre featuring Lukas Nelson and a groovy 'Road Trip Romance' theme inspired by the 70s! Dress in your best vintage looks like fringed dusters, bell bottoms, and denim to celebrate decadent road trips, freedom, and epic journeys.

Kick off with cocktails and snacks, groove to Austin band Madam Radar, catch Lukas Nelson's headlining show (son of Willie Nelson and country music star with Promise of the Real), then savor a late-night diner-inspired dinner by Michelin-star chef Michael Fojtasek and top Austin chefs from 9-11pm.

After dinner, dance to covers by the Love & Happiness Band and bid on exciting silent auction items like unique experiences and artisanal goods. All proceeds support the Paramount and State Theatres—their biggest fundraiser of the year!
