Celebrate the remarkable legacy of the Marquis de Lafayette at a lively fundraising gala co-hosted by the Chesapeake Public Library Foundation and the Great Bridge Battlefield & Waterways History Foundation.

Raise a glass with us on Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM for an evening of elegance and entertainment-featuring fine wine, champagne, delicious hors d’oeuvres, and an exclusive performance by the Tidewater Winds Quartet. Enjoy warm fellowship and a special appearance by General Lafayette himself-brought to life in a truly memorable way.

All proceeds support three vital causes: the Chesapeake Public Library Foundation, the preservation of the storied 1775 Battle of Great Bridge site, and the American Friends of Lafayette’s mission to keep the General’s inspiring legacy alive for generations to come.
