An evening on the water, for a cause that changes lives.
The 2026 Yacht Gala is an evening of elegance, purpose, and prestige — Lake of the Ozarks' exclusive summer affair, hosted by Kelly's Port and The 1932 Reserve, and benefitting Kids' Harbor Child Advocacy Center.
Step aboard a curated display of high-end yachts moored along the Reserve docks — headlined by the all-new Tiara Yachts 39 LS — and savor twelve gourmet food and wine pairing stations created for the Gala Chef Competition, headlined by Food Network Top Chef Bryan Voltaggio.
As the sun sets over the lake, premium silent and live auctions raise paddles for a cause that changes lives, while live music sets the tone for an evening you'll remember long after the fireworks fade.
