Mystic Moonlight Masquerade Gala Ball

October 23, 2026

5pm - 1am

Fairmont Palliser

Adults Only
An Audio Visual Extravaganza Unlike Anything Calgary Has Seen

The Mystic Moonlight Masquerade Gala Ball is not your standard charity gala. It is a deconstructed, immersive celebration. Part cabaret, part opera house, part rock concert, part black tie dinner.

This is the celebration event of the Mystic Moonlight Masquerade Campaign, a collaborative private fundraising initiative raising money for 10 charitable organizations supporting marginalized communities across Calgary and beyond. 100% of net proceeds go directly to those organizations. Every individual ticket you purchase sends $50 and every table sends $500 to your perferred beneficiary choice that the campaign is supporting, and an additional share of the net proceeds.

“It was the audio visual extravaganza I didn’t know I needed. I discovered I love opera. I had no idea.” - 2025 attendee

The Night Begins the Moment You Arrive

Step through the doors and paparazzi, photographers, and roving interviewers are waiting. You are announced as you enter the room. Because here, everyone belongs.

This Year’s Theme: Silk Roads, A Multicultural Rococo Journey

This year’s Gala Ball fuses multicultural artistry through a Rococo lens. Think rich fabrics, jewel toned spice colours, and interpretations of global fashion traditions from South Asia, Spain, Indigenous culture, and beyond. The music, food, florals, and performances are all built around it.

Dress the Part. Or Don’t. Just Be You.

Wear what makes you feel your most magnificent self. Past guests have arrived in Rococo inspired Venetian outfits, elegant ball gowns, elaborate Venetian carnival masks, cosplay, evening wear, and everything in between. There is no wrong answer.

Last year, a multimillionaire and a community draw winner sat at the same table, laughed together, and left as friends. No one knew who was who, and that was the whole point.

This event is unapologetically authentic. It is not boring. It is not pretentious. It is not for just one kind of person. It is for anyone who has ever sat on the fringes and still hasn’t found where they fit. Come find out.

In Three Words:

Inspirational. Inclusive. High Production.
