Gala in the Garden

Relive the Era. Revive the Garden.

If you were around in the ‘60s and ‘70s, you remember the music, the fashion, and the fun. If you weren’t, this is your chance to experience the energy of this unforgettable era—right here at the International Peace Garden. Join us for Gala in the Garden: Peace, Love & Petals, a vibrant evening of community, music, great food, and generosity—all set in full bloom at the height of summer.

Why We Gather

This year’s Gala is more than a celebration—it’s a crucial fundraiser for the areas of greatest need at the Garden. As we continue our recovery from the impacts of the pandemic, we also face an uncertain tourism season due to current cross-border trade tensions. With a small but passionate staff, we rely heavily on community support to keep this shared symbol of peace and beauty thriving. Your presence—and your generosity—mean more than ever this year.

Theme & Attire

Let loose and lean into the retro vibes! We invite you to wear your favorite 60s and 70s styles—psychedelic prints, fringe, bell-bottoms, and flower crowns welcome (but not required).
