A Most Distinguished Affair

You are cordially invited to step into the elegance of another era at the 2026 Tampa Bay teen banquet, hosted by the Tampa Bay chapter of the Hutchinson Bell!

For one enchanting evening, we will trade modern-day routines for candlelit charm, refined merriment, and delightful refreshments. Inspired by the world of drawing rooms and grand assemblies, this year's Regency Gala is a celebration of friendship.

Put on your finest attire, and prepare to immerse yourself in a night full of lively conversation and classic music!
