Pine Island Garden Gala 2025

Our PIGC was thrilled with the success of our 2024 Garden Gala.  With your help, we were able to donate $8,000 to our local beneficiaries. (Not $80,000 as was misprinted in our local Eagle Newspaper! We wish!) Thank you for your continued support.  We couldn’t do it without you!

    Success has also brought with it some concerns.  The safety of our vendors and patrons is of primary importance to us. With the growth and popularity of our event we have been motivated to make two changes.  

1.  Although the park at Phillips Park is lovely and has been a yearly tradition, we will host the PIGC Garden Gala on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at the St James Civic Center (SJCC) located at 3300 Fourth Ave., SJC, FL 33956.  This is south of the 4-way stop.

It will provide scenic spacious grounds with additional indoor spaces available.  

There are mens and women’s four stall restrooms, a kitchen, a stage for live music and ample parking nearby.  

Please check out their website at sjccapi.org.  They have worked tirelessly to renovate the building and grounds and there is still more to come.

 We want to give our vendors maximum time to promote more sales so

we will open the event at 9 AM and close at 3 PM. The additional hour will give patrons the opportunity to shop, buy tickets, have lunch from one of the food trucks, or relax and listen to music.

Registrations for 2025 will go out late August with updated information.

Thank you again for your support.  We look forward to another successful season on the island.  

Sincerely,

Beth Smith
