It's hard to comprehend the sheer number of people; families, neighbors that have contributed to the growth of our town of TEN decades of time!
Join us as we pay tribute to this important milestone, and as we reflect on our past, celebrate countless acheivements, and prepare, together, for an exciting and successful future!
As part of its anniversary celebration, Maple Shade Township is using this rare opportunity to recognize the very essence of what makes Maple Shade: its residents who are so special to the community!
HOW IT WORKS:
Guests must purchase tickets in advance to attend the Blue & Gold Pop-up Gala for the scheduled date and time; BUT will not be informed of the location.
Once your ticket is purchased, plan with your date/group to discuss your blue & gold attire and what items you’ll need (more on that in the Guidelines & Rules area!) which must all leave with you at the end of the night. Get creative!
_________________________________________________________
At 5:30pm on the night of the event, ticket holders will be instructed by an assigned party lead to meet at a location in town by 6pm.
At exactly 6pm, party leads will escort their designated party to a top-secret spot to meet all of the other guests, and converge to enjoy a celebratory Pop-up Gala with music, fun & festivities!
Guests arrive from different locations
throughout town to one secret location!

all items must leave with you at the end of the night.
You will receive an envelope in the mail several weeks before the Gala. This envelope will contain top secret information about the event, so top secret, we can't even write about it here.
As the Gala gets closer, (we're talking 3 days away), you will receive an introductory email/text message from your assigned party lead.
Then, on Saturday, August 20th, at exactly 5:30pm, you will be notified by your party lead and given a location to meet them and your fellow Pop-Up attendees. You must meet at this location by 6pm, bringing with you everything you need for your special evening!
At precisely 6pm, party leads will then escort Gala guests to the secret Gala location.
You will then arrive to the Blue & Gold Pop-Up Gala, where you will experience an enchanting evening with entertainment, fun, surprises, and of course: all of the secrecy revealed!
