Audrain Bandstand

The Audrain Automobile Museum’s

9th Annual Fundraising Gala

Get ready to shake, rattle, and roll at the 2025 Audrain Gala, the centerpiece event of the 6th Annual Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week! Step back in time as we turn the clock to the swingin’ 50s, 60s & 70s for a night of glitz, grooves, and good times!

Kick off the evening with cocktails on the East Porch, then take a trip down memory lane as we open the doors to the Audrain Bandstand! Our far-out Gala Chair, Therese Antone, Chancellor of Salve Regina University, will be joined by the ever-hilarious, car-lovin’ host Jay Leno, and the legendary Donald Osborne, noted writer, historian, appraiser, and Audrain Consulting Director. These cool cats will keep the night movin’ with their quick wit and a live auction you won’t want to miss!

Then, it’s time to boogie! After dinner, hit the dance floor for a groovy DJ set, dance competitions, classic retro décor, and more surprises! 

So, all you hip cats and foxy ladies, ditch the boob tube, fire up your VW bus or muscle car, and make your way to the bash of the year. It’s gonna be outta sight!
