Information for Charities

The Evening

Step Into the Garden

An enchanted evening of food, drink, live entertainment, and a live and silent auction, all in support of our Annapolis Valley community.

Chef Jason Lynch

Food & Drink

Chef Jason Lynch serves an abundant spread of appetizers and food, with a cash bar from the venue, Maritime Cider Express Co.. It's a relaxed, walk-around reception rather than a seated dinner, so there's room to mingle all night.

DJ Danimal

Live Entertainment

DJ Danimal keeps the night moving with a set made for dancing, in the heart of the Valley.

Looking Back

An Evening in Paris — 2024

Our 2024 gala brought the Valley together for an unforgettable night of generosity

An Evening in Paris

November 2, 2024 • Maritime Cider Express Co., Kentville

Our 2024 gala raised funds for five incredible organizations: 9 Lives Cats Rescue Society, Valley Doulas, Scrappy Lady Productions, After The Bell, and Gaspereau Elementary Home & School Association. With live auction items, entertainment by The Height Requirement, and a dinner by Chef Jason Lynch, it was a night the Valley won't forget.
