Denver Urban Gardens: 2025 Gather ‘Round Gala

Register Here

This fundraising gala has been a DUG staple for over a decade. This year, we’ll gather over 400 of DUG’s community members to mark the harvest, give thanks, and honor our shared work building resilient systems for food, community, and climate in the Denver metro and beyond.

Enjoy dinner from our award-winning friends at The Easy Vegan, get down on the dance floor with live music, and get ready to bid big — we’ve got silent auction items from our amazing community, a once-in-a-lifetime live auction, and opportunities to give at every level.

Our dress code is cocktail attire; people tend to dress semi-formally. Wear what makes you feel wonderful!

Language interpretation, large-print materials, reserved accessible parking, and other accommodations may be requested in your reservation or via email to events@dug.org

At this year’s Gather ‘Round, during DUG’s 40th anniversary, we are honoring individuals and organizations who epitomize DUG’s pillars of food, community, and climate as well as the theme of legacy.
