Gumbo Gala 2025 Sponsor Application

February 22, 2025

CAHABA Brewing, Birmingham

12 - 4pm


Eighteen years ago, Episcopal Place Board members, staff, and volunteers created a fundraising event that would be unique and fun for the community and for the Episcopal Place residents it would benefit. Four couples from Louisiana had recently moved into Episcopal Place after losing their homes to Hurricane Katrina. Knowing how much they missed their food, music, and culture, EP staff members developed the concept for Gumbo Gala in their honor. And the rest is Gumbo Gala history!


Gumbo Gala is...


  • A gumbo cooking competition featuring backyard and professional chefs
  • A delicious array of gumbos from chicken and sausage to seafood and gator
  • A friendly competition among teams vying for coveted titles and bragging rights



AND... Lagniappe (lan-yap)...


Cajun for A Little Something Extra

  • Live music
  • Kid's Activities
  • & Pets Welcome!
