Hammonton, NJ — MainStreet Hammonton is proud to announce its Third Annual MainStreet
Gala, to be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at Eastlyn Golf Club, located at 4049 Italia Avenue,
Vineland, NJ 08361. This signature fundraising event will bring together community members,
local businesses, and supporters for an elegant evening dedicated to celebrating and supporting
Downtown Hammonton.

The gala will begin at 5:00 p.m. with a cocktail hour, followed by dinner and dancing from 6:00
p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Guests will also have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction
featuring a wide variety of items and experiences, with all proceeds benefiting MainStreet
Hammonton’s ongoing work in the downtown district.

Last year’s Gala featured a large and popular silent auction with items such as a Burt Reynolds
signed license plate, trips to various destinations, a bourbon basket, and a Downtown
Hammonton basket filled with goodies and gift cards from local businesses. The night also
included a 360 photo booth and a packed dance floor, making it a memorable celebration for
everyone who attended. Reflecting on the strong community turnout, Ty Wilson, Executive
Director of MainStreet Hammonton, said, “It was an incredible reminder of how much this
community cares about Downtown Hammonton. When you walk into a room filled with people
who believe in this town and want to see it continue to grow, it is both inspiring and motivating.
That energy and support is what allows us to keep building on our momentum year after year.”
Building on that success, MainStreet Hammonton plans to add a few new experiences this year,
including a cigar bar and other surprises that will be announced in the coming months.

Funds raised from the event directly support the Hammonton Revitalization Corporation’s
MainStreet Program, which is dedicated to strengthening and enhancing Downtown Hammonton
through economic development, historic preservation, and community engagement initiatives.
Proceeds from the gala help fund programs that support local businesses, beautification projects,
and the many community events that make Downtown Hammonton a vibrant and welcoming
place.

“This gala is more than a celebration, it is an investment in the future of Hammonton’s
MainStreet. Every dollar raised helps strengthen our small businesses, support community driven
events, and preserve the unique character that makes our downtown thrive,” said Jason
Michelini, Gala Committee Chair.

The Hammonton Revitalization Corporation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and the
MainStreet Gala serves as one of its most important annual fundraisers, helping ensure that this
work can continue and grow in the years ahead.
