2026 Virginia Manufacturing Gala

November 6, 2026 6:00 PM - 11:00 PM (EST)

Description

250 years ago, Virginia helped forge a nation.  Today, Virginia manufacturers are forging its future.

Join the 2026 Virginia Manufacturing Gala on Friday, November 6, for an unforgettable black-tie evening celebrating manufacturing excellence, American ingenuity, and 250 years of Virginia innovation. Held at the Dewey Gottwald Center at the Science Museum of Virginia, this year's theme, "Forging a Nation: 250 Years of Virginia Innovation," honors the Commonwealth's role in shaping our nation while recognizing the manufacturers driving its future.

The evening will begin with a cocktail reception and the opportunity to explore the VA250 Mobile Museum, where guests can discover Virginia's pivotal role in the American Revolution and the people and ideas that helped build the nation. A special one-man performance portraying Patrick Henry will bring history to life, highlighting the connection between the craftsmen, entrepreneurs, and visionaries of the Revolutionary era and the innovators leading Virginia manufacturing today.

Guests will enjoy a plated dinner and an evening of celebration before one of the night's most anticipated moments: the presentation of the Virginia Manufacturing Cup, including the unveiling of category winners and the prestigious Best in Show award recognizing The Coolest Thing Made in Virginia. The celebration will continue with an exciting Casino Night, offering guests the opportunity to network, connect, and celebrate long after the awards are presented.

Join manufacturing executives, industry leaders, innovators, and partners from across the Commonwealth for a night where history meets innovation, the past inspires the future, and Virginia manufacturing takes center stage. Be part of a celebration 250 years in the making.
