About the Gala
Each year, the NSLBA Gala Dinner & Business Awards brings together Latino entrepreneurs, professionals, business leaders, community organizations and partners from across the North Shore for one evening devoted to recognition.
Over a red-carpet reception, fine dining and live entertainment, we honor the outstanding businesses and community leaders whose work strengthens our cities and towns, and we celebrate the entrepreneurship, leadership, collaboration and community impact that define who we are.
Together, we build a stronger tomorrow. North Shore Latino Business Association
Fifteen Years
Since its first Gala, the North Shore Latino Business Association has set aside one evening each year to recognize the businesses and leaders who move our community forward. The 2026 Gala marks fifteen years of that tradition.
NSLBA hosts its inaugural Gala Dinner, creating an annual evening dedicated to recognizing Latino-owned businesses on the North Shore.
The evening grows into the Business Awards, honoring the businesses, entrepreneurs and organizations whose work strengthens the community.
Ten years on, the Gala has become the North Shore's signature celebration of Latino business, bringing together leaders from across the region.
On September 13, 2026, we gather at Danversport's Harborview Ballroom to celebrate fifteen years of excellence, leadership and community.
Past Galas
A red carpet, a full ballroom, and a room that rises to its feet for its honorees. A glimpse of the atmosphere that awaits.
Fifteen years of red carpets, standing ovations and full ballrooms — and one more evening still to come.
