The Ottawa Riverkeeper Gala

The watershed’s best party is back! This year's Riverkeeper Gala will be held on May 21st, 2025. This is the National Capital Region’s premier fundraising event to support a clean and healthy river.

Join the party and enjoy all the highlights, including excellent networking opportunities, special musical performances, fine cuisine, premium beverages, spectacular auction items and a killer dance floor. 

DRESS CODE

The dress code is River Chic (semi-formal, cocktail attire), it’s time to show off your unique river style, dress with your own flair! There will be a coat and shoe check available to guests.

 

DINNER

The Riverkeeper Gala is a cocktail-style event where guests can mix and mingle all night! There is no seated dinner or need for meal selection. Guests will be treated to a meal-size portion of food with a wide selection of tasty morsels and food stations offered. Options will be clearly marked with dietary preferences.

Venue

We’re beyond eager to party with you in “plein air” once again as we overlook the Ottawa River from Jacques Cartier Park

Come kick off gala season with us and embrace the warmth and excitement of springtime with this incredible outdoor party! There’ll be awe-inspiring, creative surprises popping up all over the venue and harkening back to past open-air Riverkeeper Galas at 50 Sussex and Lemieux Island.
