The Bell at the Barn: 2026 Red Kettle Campaign Kickoff

About the event

Step into a Hallmark-inspired Christmas evening where generosity meets celebration. The Bell at the Barn is The Salvation Army's signature holiday gala and the official kickoff to the Red Kettle Campaign, bringing together community leaders, businesses, and friends for an unforgettable night of impact.

Guests will enjoy a festive dinner, live Christmas music, the enchanting Festival of Trees & Wreaths auction, and heartfelt stories of lives transformed through The Salvation Army's work. Throughout the evening, you'll discover how your support helps provide shelter for families at the Center of Hope, food for neighbors facing hunger, and critical assistance for individuals working to overcome poverty and hardship.

More than a gala, The Bell at the Barn is a celebration of hope, compassion, and the extraordinary difference our community can make when we come together. Join us as we ring in the Christmas season and help ensure hope lives here for those who need it most.

Sponsorships, tables of eight (8) and individual tickets are available.
