On Saturday, October 17, 2026, friends of the Field Museum will gather for the Museum's annual gala. Hosted by the Women's Board, this very special evening will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Women's Board, and honor Marshall Field V, who we also recognize for 60 years of leadership as a Trustee. In addition, the Field Associates, the Museum’s young professionals board, will host the Soiree at the Gala. Guests will enjoy a reception with science stations and exhibition access, before joining the gala attendees for dessert and dancing.
