This year’s event connects the creative brilliance of Harlem’s golden era from 1918 to 1937 with the cultural renaissance taking place in Milwaukee today.

Held August 14th, 2025 at The Fitzgerald, this fundraiser honors the visionaries who redefined music, literature, fashion, and the arts. Guests will experience an evening of live music, stunning fashion, curated cuisine, and immersive visuals, all inspired by the timeless elegance and bold spirit of Harlem’s most iconic era.

The evening begins with an early access reception starting at 6 p.m. (tickets for the early access reception are limited), followed by general admission from 7 to 9 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to embrace the style and energy of the Harlem Renaissance through fashion and celebration.

The HYFIN Anti-Gala is more than just an event; it's a tribute to the cultural pioneers of the past and a recognition of the legacy being shaped today.
