The Ottawa Riverkeeper Gala
Get your tickets to the watershed’s best party! The Riverkeeper Gala 2026 is not only an incredible evening by the river, but it is Ottawa Riverkeeper’s biggest fundraiser of the year. And with each ticket purchase, you’re supporting a clean and healthy Ottawa River.
About the Event
This year, we’re returning to one of our favourite Gala spots from 10 years ago, in 2016… Lemieux Island! Join us at this beautiful and hidden-away spot on the Ottawa River on Wednesday, May 27th, for an evening of live music and dancing, great food courtesy of Thyme & Again, delicious beverages, and so much more.
We can’t wait to see you there, surrounded by the river and under the stars.
The dress code is River Chic (semi-formal, cocktail attire). Show off your unique river style, and dress with your own flair! Coat and shoe check available.
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. Options will be clearly marked with dietary restrictions.
We look forward to celebrating the Ottawa River with you!
