Drop the Mask YYC

Drop the Mask YYC is back for 2025. On Saturday, October 25, we return to The GRAND in downtown Calgary with our signature black-tie masquerade gala to raise critical funds and awareness for mental health in our community.

Talking 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.

We 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.

In 2025, 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.

🎭 What to expect:

• Dueling Piano Kings return to headline the evening

• VIP access and seating

• Live music by DJ J Groove
