Audrain Casino Royale Gala

The Audrain Automobile Museum’s

10th Annual Fundraising Gala

DINNER+ DANCING & CASINO GAMES

Step into a world of cinematic grandeur, where sophistication and intrigue define the evening's allure. In celebration of its mission to Preserve, Celebrate & Share Automotive History, the Audrain Automobile Museum invites you to the

2026 Gala—an extraordinary Casino Royale-inspired aflair and the centerpiece event of the Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week.

This black-tie evening evokes the timeless mystique of James Bond, offering an atmosphere of unparalleled refinement. Indulge in an exquisite selection of table games, bespoke cocktails, and captivaling live entertainment, all set against a backdrop of elegance and intrigue.

Hosted by the incomparable Jay Leno and renowned automotive historian Donald Osborne, the evening promises wit, charm, and excitement at every turn—including a live auction not to be missed.

Guests will be granted an exclusive encounter with the legendary Aston Martin DB5—one of only two commissioned to promote the 1965 Bond film-complete with demonstrations of its iconic gadgetry, from the ejector seal to its signature mechanical marvels.

Following dinner, the night unfolds with music, dancing, and immersive moments designed to transport you into the world of 007- where every detail is tailored for impeccable style, rare distinction, and enduring elegance.

An unforgettable evening awaits.
