2026 Summer Soiree

Join Us at Our 13th Annual Summer Soiree!

Every year, more than 300 guests gather beneath the twinkling lights of our beautiful tent along the shores of Webb State Park for our annual gala.

This unforgettable evening brings together local businesses, community leaders, restaurants, and spirit providers, but most importantly, the individuals and families who have been part of The Arc’s community for the past 75 years. Funds raised from this special event directly support our mission to empower people with disabilities to reach their fullest potential.

This year’s Summer Soiree is especially meaningful as we celebrate 75 years of The Arc of the South Shore. For more than seven decades, we have been proud to lead the way in disability advocacy and services across the South Shore. We are deeply grateful for the community that has made this milestone possible and look forward to celebrating together under the tent.

We hope you will join us for this extraordinary evening.
