Following its resounding success last year, the “GMA Gala”—the glamorous and dazzling gathering of the biggest and brightest Kapuso stars—returns to celebrate the 74th anniversary of GMA Network.

Sparkle GMA Artist Center announced the exciting news on their Instagram account with a teaser video featuring the Network’s biggest stars, igniting a buzz online and thrilling fans. 

Sparkle's post read, "Lights, camera, action ✨ The GMA Gala is back! The moment we’ve all been waiting for is here – the grand return of the biggest event in the Philippine entertainment industry, the #GMAGala2024! Get ready to witness the stars shine like never before ��"

The inaugural GMA Gala in 2022 served as a fundraiser, with all donations and pledges supporting the construction of a new school building for Magallanes Elementary School in Limasawa Island, Southern Leyte through the GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMAKF).

Last year’s GMA Gala, held in July 2023 at the Marriott Hotel in Newport Pasay City, also doubled as a fund-raising event. The glamorous evening raised P1 million for the benefit of the GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMAKF).

Additionally, ABS-CBN's top executives, along with Kapamilya personalities Vice Ganda, Anne Curtis, Jhong Hilario, Vhong Navarro, and Joshua Garcia, were in attendance. 

The GMA Gala 2023 was a perfect occasion for the artists, executives, media partners, and collaborators to come together for one special, sparkling night.

While GMA Network has yet to announce the venue and theme of this year's gala, anticipation is definitely building for another event featuring the country’s biggest celebrities and personalities.
