AANM Grand Gala

For over two decades, the Arab American National Museum (AANM) has served as our cultural home, safeguarding our stories, our artifacts, and our shared memories. Join us for the 2026 Grand Gala to support this necessary work on Saturday, October 3, 6 PM, at the Henry Hotel in Dearborn, MI. This special event brings together patrons of the arts from across the country and will honor Arab American culture through a powerful performance by Dalal Abu Amneh, accompanied by the National Arab Orchestra – Directed by Michael Ibrahim. Proceeds from the Grand Gala provide vital funding for the Museum’s educational and cultural programs, ensuring that our stories continue to inspire and shape future generations.
