Fundraising Gala
We’re pleased to announce the return of the annual Evening at the Museum fundraising gala. On Wednesday, July 27, join us for a magical evening of food, drink and fireworks.
The evening begins at 6:30 with drinks and appetizers. There will be time to mingle with other museum supporters and check out the auction items.
Dinner will be served on the terrace. You can enjoy a gourmet meal with friends while taking in unparalleled views of the North Shore and English Bay.
The evening will include live music, and you’ll get to watch the Honda Celebration of Light firework display from the best seats in the city.
The Honda Celebration of Light returns after a 2-year hiatus and will be celebrating the 30-year anniversary of fireworks in Vancouver. We expect a spectacular display.
The Evening at the Museum is the VMM’s signature fundraising event. All proceeds support the museum’s education programs. Your ticket purchase will help fund workshops, field trips, talks and activities that connect school children and the local community with maritime history and topics.
The silent auction will be up online for a month before the big night. Click here for The Silent Auction Website. There will also be a live auction at the event.
