Galaxy Whisky Gala presents whiskies from around the world to sample and learn about in a classy atmosphere, wearing your finest attire!

The third annual Galaxy Whisky Gala presents whiskies from around the world for whisky enthusiasts and aficionados to sample and learn about, all while enjoying delectable morsels, music, our Live Auction AND Silent Auction benefiting our charity, Bears for Bairns. Join us as we open Whisky Festival Season for Austin in 2026.

General Admission includes entrance to the Galaxy Whisky Gala on Saturday, March 28th, 2026, from 7pm to10pm. Each attendee will receive a branded glass, a branded tote bag with some surprise goodies, and an opportunity for a digital photo of your red carpet entrance!

A VIP admission ticket includes all that you get for General Admission, plus an extra 1.5 hours and samples of premium whiskies. This option gives you more access to meet and chat with your favorite distillers and ambassadors before the crowd surges at 7pm, while also sipping some special pours. Entrance at 5:30pm.

An optional Whisky Knowledge Expansion Session is available to VIP ticket holders. Seats are limited for these classes and once they are scheduled, we will email you to choose your class. Once they fill up, they are no longer available. For 2026, some classes will be held prior to the event, at 4:30pm.
