The first annual 1909 Menagerie Gala: A Merry-Go-Round of History is coming to the Blue Ocean Music Hall on Salisbury Beach - Thursday, September 18th at 6 PM.

Enjoy a red carpet welcome and an enchanting night of artistry and celebration, featuring incredible renditions of classic wood carvings, exciting live and silent auctions, a delicious dinner and dancing to music by the Merrimack Valley Philharmonic Orchestra.

This premier event honors one of the few remaining Looff-Mangels antique carousels in the entire country—the cherished Salisbury Beach Carousel—a living piece of American history.

Whether you're a local or a long-time lover of carousels, this is your chance to support something truly special.

Every dollar raised helps preserve the carousel so both young and old can continue to enjoy the joy, nostalgia, and wonder of the ride for generations to come.

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind celebration!

The Gala is presented by Salisbury Beach Carousel and Newburyport Bank.
