Premium tequila brand joins Boston’s premier fashion show, bringing elevated guest experiences and enhanced luxury to “Dark Romance” themed gala.

BOSTON, MA — December 1, 2025 — The producers of The Runway Ball, Boston’s premier fashion and culture gala, today announced Leyenda 1925 Tequila as the official Presenting Sponsor for the highly anticipated Season 3 event on Saturday, December 14, at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza. The partnership brings a distinguished, heritage-driven tequila brand into the heart of one of Boston’s most celebrated nights of fashion, culture, and philanthropy.

Known for its dedication to craftsmanship and legacy, Leyenda 1925 will elevate the guest experience with a bespoke cocktail program and immersive activations throughout the evening. For Executive Producer Amanda Vargus, the collaboration represents a natural alignment of values and vision. “Partnering with Leyenda 1925 feels like a natural evolution for the show,” Vargus said. “They’re a brand rooted in heritage, authenticity, and artistry — all the values that define The Runway Ball. We’re thrilled to bring their world-class tequila experience to our guests and to elevate the evening with a presenting sponsor who truly understands luxury.”

Co-producer Matt Ribaudo, publisher of BostonMan Magazine, noted that the sponsorship underscores the show’s continued rise in cultural stature. “Leyenda 1925 brings a level of prestige and craftsmanship that mirrors what we’re building here in Boston,” Ribaudo said. “This sponsorship doesn’t just support the event — it enhances it. Their presence adds cultural depth, sophistication, and a global sensibility to the night. We couldn’t ask for a better partner.”

For Joe Correia, owner of Leyenda 1925 Tequila, the opportunity to support a locally rooted yet nationally resonant event made the partnership especially meaningful. “We are honored to present this year’s Runway Ball and to support an event that celebrates creativity, culture, and community,” Correia said. “The Runway Ball represents the best of Boston’s artistic spirit, and we’re proud to contribute to such a dynamic and inspiring night. Our brand is all about legacy and excellence, and we look forward to sharing that with the city in a very special way.”

The partnership arrives at a pivotal moment for The Runway Ball as it continues to expand its creative reach and cultural footprint. With Season 3 featuring six designer collections — including Project Runway breakouts Angelo Rosa and Madeline Malenfant alongside headliner and celebrity designer Michael DePaulo — the addition of Leyenda 1925 as presenting sponsor adds a new layer of elevated experience to an evening designed to celebrate luxury, artistry, and community impact.
