La Cocina's 21st Annual Gala
Join us for La Cocina's 21st Annual Gala! This year's celebration honors the power of small beginnings and lasting impact - how a single entrepreneur, a single opportunity, can create ripples that reach families, neighborhoods, and communities far beyond. Surrounded by contemporary art at the Minnesota Street Project, guests will enjoy an evening of inspiration, connection, and of course an unforgettable meal. Purchase tickets here.
