Galena 2026 is inviting residents, business owners, and visitors to contribute to our Bicentennial celebration.  Fundraising will continue throughout the year for the legacy project, and money contributed by our sponsors will give us the opportunity to produce world-class events!

Proceeds from the 2026 Bicentennial Events will be used to establish a Recreation Park Fund to help pay for improvements to Galena's Recreation Park as well as the various pocket parks throughout Galena.  Many of the playgrounds have been upgraded, but some still need attention - and financing.

Galena does not have a Park District, so establishing a non-profit fund to help offset the taxpayers' expenses seemed appropriate, and there are currently some projects underway that are short of funds.
