With one month remaining, organizers are reminding attendees to secure tickets for the Charity Preview Gala tied to the 2026 Montreal Auto Show, set for Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026, at the Palais des congrès de Montréal.
The evening begins with doors opening and a welcome cocktail at 6:30 p.m., with activities spread across exhibition levels 2, 5 and 7 at the downtown venue on Viger Avenue West. The event is open to ticket holders 18 years and over and requires formal evening attire.
The gala traditionally serves as both a social highlight of the Montreal Auto Show and a major fundraising event for local health-care institutions. Proceeds from the 2026 edition will benefit the Montreal Sacré-Coeur Hospital Foundation, the LaSalle Hospital Foundation, and the Montreal Heart Institute Foundation.
Attendees can expect themed food stations, curated wine and beer selections, a cocktail bar, live music and a range of special features throughout the evening. A silent auction and prize draws are also planned, with organizers promising “lots of surprises” for guests.
The Charity Preview Gala offers early access to the auto show floor while supporting Montreal-area hospitals, making it a longstanding tradition for many industry executives, dealers and partners in Quebec. For dealers, the gala remains an opportunity to network with OEMs, peers and industry partners ahead of the show’s public opening.
