Drop the Mask 2026 - Masquerade Gala

Drop the Mask YYC is an annual black-tie masquerade gala that celebrates vulnerability and mental health awareness in Calgary.

The event brings together community-minded professionals, creatives, and changemakers to raise funds for the Calgary Counselling Centre, which provides sliding-scale counselling services for those who cannot afford private care. Through storytelling, entertainment, and elegant fundraising, Drop the Mask YYC encourages people to remove their metaphorical masks and show that it's okay to be vulnerable.
