SUMMARY:Drop the Mask 2026 - Masquerade Gala
DESCRIPTION:Join us on September 11\, 2026 for a masquerade fundraising gala in support of mental health awareness and the Calgary Counselling Centre. \nDrop the Mask YYC is Calgary’s Premier Black Tie Masquerade for Mental Health Awareness \nDrop the Mask YYC is back for 2026. On Friday\, September 11\, join us at The Princeton in downtown Calgary for our signature black-tie masquerade gala to raise funds and awareness for mental health in our community. \nTalking about mental health isn’t easy. Whether we’re experiencing our own struggles or reaching out to support someone we love\, starting the conversation can feel impossible. Drop the Mask YYC was created to change that. \nWe all wear masks to get through the day\, saying “I’m fine” even when we’re not. This event is about setting those masks aside\, embracing authenticity\, and supporting those who need it most. It’s about reminding the people around us that they aren’t alone. \nIn 2026\, proceeds from this event will once again benefit the Calgary Counselling Centre\, an organization that makes mental health supports accessible by those who need them. \nWhat to expect: \n\nDueling Piano Kings return to headline the evening\nHosted by emcee Salim Valji\nMagician Brent Smith returns\nVIP access and seating\nSilent auction\n50/50 draw\nLive music by DJ J Groove
