We add in delicious food, fine cigars, and festive music to round out the night. This is a fancy evening out, a chance to don your finest clothes and taste the best whiskies in luxury surroundings. Enjoy a red carpet experience complete with a photo op, and even a stay at the Down Right Austin Hotel in Downtown Austin.

Bears For Bairns

Our Parent charity grew out of Stephen “The Texas Highlander'' Harris' love of bringing teddy bears to sick children stuck in the hospital on Christmas Eve every year. He wanted to bring more toys to more children and created Bears for Bairns as a way to do this.

Bears for Bairns’ mission seeks to provide a small comfort for children in hospitals, starting on Christmas Eve, but expanding to other times of year as we grow with your support!

Steve asked Catherine Sikora to join him in creating the Galaxy Whisky Gala and the Starry Night Whisky Dinner as the main fundraisers for the charity. The charity became official in 2023, and 2024 was the first year of the Gala. Click the button below to donate directly to our charity.
