Golden memories: TMH Golden Gala photos through the years

It’s one of Tallahassee’s biggest nights out and has become a rite of spring for Florida’s capital city.

Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare’s annual Golden Gala will roll out the red carpet for more than 1,500 guests on April 23, 2026 as the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center becomes the Emerald City for a Wizard of Oz themed night of fine dining, drinking and dancing for a good cause.

For more than 40 years, the fundraiser has brought in millions of dollars for the TMH Foundation, which are redirected to support healthcare services and programs.

This year, Grammy nominated singer Teddy Swims is the headliner of the night.

For many regular attendees, the musical act is the best way to reconnect with the memories of that special night. Here’s our collection of Golden Gala photo through the years. How many of your friends and neighbors do you recognize?
