September 10, 2026 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM (CDT)

Description

SAN PATRICIO COUNTY CHAMBERS ANNOUNCE 2026 LEADING LADIES GALA THEME: "SHE IS ICONIC" SAN PATRICIO COUNTY, TEXAS — The Portland, Aransas Pass, Ingleside, Sinton and Taft Chambers of Commerce are excited to announce the theme for the 2026 Leading Ladies Gala: "She Is Iconic: Celebrating Strength & Leadership." 

This year's gala will honor the power, influence, and impact of women through an exciting and interactive experience unlike any before. Inspired by iconic women who have shaped culture, entertainment, fashion, business, and generations of leadership, the evening will celebrate the qualities that make women extraordinary: resilience, authenticity, courage, creativity, and influence. One of the most anticipated features of this year's gala is the "Choose Your Icon" table experience. Sponsors and table hosts will select a famous woman who inspires them and create a themed table that reflects her legacy, personality, style, and impact. From Dolly Parton and Selena Quintanilla to Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn, Beyoncé, and many others, each table will tell a unique story while contributing to an elegant and unified gala atmosphere. Guests can expect a stunning evening filled with creativity, inspiration, entertainment, and meaningful recognition of the women who continue to shape our communities and our world. "The goal is to create an experience that is fun, memorable, and inspiring," said gala organizers. "Every table will celebrate a woman whose story has empowered others while reminding us that leadership comes in many forms." The ballroom will be transformed with elegant event décor featuring gold accents, creating a sophisticated and memorable atmosphere. Each table will be uniquely designed by its sponsors and guests in honor of their chosen iconic woman, showcasing her legacy, style, personality, and impact through creative themed décor. Attendees are also encouraged to dress in theme, bringing the evening together as a glamorous celebration of the women who have inspired generations. The Leading Ladies Gala has become one of the Chambers' premier events, recognizing outstanding women and their contributions to the community. This year's theme invites guests to not only honor iconic women of the past and present but also celebrate the iconic women among us today. Businesses, organizations, and groups are encouraged to purchase a table, choose their icon, and bring their vision to life through creative décor, fashion, and storytelling. Whether inspired by a music legend, actress, humanitarian, business leader, or cultural icon, every table will become a tribute to the women whose influence continues to inspire generations. Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate strength, leadership, influence, and the power of women to make a lasting impact.
