On Friday, August 22, The Apollo returns to the Hamptons for its first in-person fundraiser in the area since before the pandemic. In collaboration with On Our Toes in the Hamptons, presented by Ronald K. Brown and EVIDENCE, this exclusive evening of dinner, dancing, and celebration supports The Apollo’s mission and its Apollo Rising 2.0 Capital Campaign, which funds the historic renovation of the iconic Harlem theater.

The full-scale restoration—set for completion in 2026—includes an expanded lobby with a bar and café, new and restored seating, upgraded backstage areas, repairs to the marquee, and modernized AV, lighting, acoustics, HVAC, fire suppression, and technology systems.

This intimate gathering marks a meaningful milestone for The Apollo, bringing together supporters and cultural leaders to honor its legacy of community, creativity, and impact. Guests will enjoy entertainment by DJ Cassidy, Doug E. Fresh, Chubb Rock, Dres, a special live performance by 2015 Apollo Amateur Night winner Wé Ani, and more.

Apollo in the Hamptons kicks off a broader Weekend of Cultural Elevation, which concludes at Guild Hall with On Our Toes in the Hamptons, an event that celebrates the rich tradition of Black dance and artistry, underscoring The Apollo’s commitment to elevating Black creative expression.
