Announcing the 2026 Blue Star Gala!

Join the Beaufort County Democratic Party and special guests for the annual Blue Star Gala fundraising dinner, taking place the evening of Saturday, September 26, 2026 in downtown Beaufort, South Carolina.

The Blue Star Gala is an opportunity for Democrats to gather in solidarity and celebration, honor the hard work and commitment of our volunteers and supporters, and enjoy our esteemed guest speakers.

​

The Blue Star Gala is also critical to funding the Beaufort County Democratic Party's mission of recruiting, supporting and electing Democratic candidates. The funds raised at the annual gala make this work possible.

After three years of sold-out events, the Blue Star Gala has a spacious new home in the lovely ballroom at the Holiday Inn Beaufort. The Sponsor's Reception overlooks the natural beauty of the Lowcountry marsh, and the full Harvest Moon will make for a spectacular evening.

The Gala Committee looks forward to welcoming friends, fellow Democrats and special guests for an exciting evening at the 2026 Blue Star Gala.

SPONSORS

Each year, our generous sponsors make the gala a grand success for Democrats in Beaufort County. The goal for this year's event is to raise $75,000, resources that will be used to turn out the vote using grassroots and digital strategies.

We have a full slate of Democratic candidates and a motivated electorate. This is our year. Your sponsorship will help turn Beaufort blue.

Thank you for your support.
