​about our evening: big picture

​Soapbox Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit creating Seattle’s most joyful community space for climate action.

​Every week in 2025 and 2026, we've been gathering in Belltown to restore our connections with each other, our food, the land, and our futures.

​After the smashing success of last year's gala, which you can get a peak at via one attendee's article or our Instagram highlight, we're running it back to see if we can possibly top it this year.

​If you want to get a sense of what your night holds, think:

• ​✨ Bridgerton-style string quartet vibes and live music from local artists

• ​✨ Curated activities that nourish creativity and conversation with new friends

• ​✨ Delicious plant-based food made with love and regenerative practices

• ​✨ A GORGEOUS venue where you can show off your best outfits and get your pictures taken

• ​✨ Toasts from our community members who can show us how to shape a better future (last year we had mayor Katie Wilson and councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck)

​Magic is real, but we need you to bring it to life.

​more details

• ​Dress up! Jewel tones and sustainable maximalism are encouraged. You can interpret that as you wish, but please do not buy anything new. Get as fancy as you want; it's time to show Seattle how it's done. The venue is indoors with outdoor patio space, so you can bring layers if you anticipate wanting to hang outside.
  

• ​There are two types of tickets.
  

  • ​EXPERIENTIAL SOIREE (included with all tickets): enjoy an immersive experience that celebrates community building through local bites, drinks, music, art, and more.
    

  • ​SEATED DINNER: Chef Dustin (from Art of the Table fame) will be preparing a four-course plant-based meal, served on our exclusive rooftop terrace with live music and guided conversation. There are two time slots for dinner and space is VERY limited!
    

• ​If you select the seated dinner, you will choose your time slot when you register. It is very important that you arrive punctually for your time slot. ✨
  

• ​We're relying on you to raise fun and raise funds! In addition to having the best night of our lives and celebrate our 2026 accomplishments, our goal is to raise money for our 2027 programming.

​final notes

​Earth Magic 2026 will be the perfect occasion to bring a date, friends or family visiting from out of town, or your whole Seattle crew. It's not a good fit for pets. You can bring your kids, but it's up to you if you think they'd enjoy the evening. Please feel free to reach out via email if you have any more questions!

​Can't wait to celebrate with you,

​Nivi Achanta (Founder & Executive Director of Soapbox Project) and the rest of the Soapbox Project board, staff, and volunteer team
