YOUR FAIRYTALE EVENING AWAITS…

LIT IS LIGHT, LITERATURE, LITERACY.

Prepare for an evening of delights and glamour that only your fairy godmother could conjure up. Lit Gala: Once will treat you with the regal realness of a storybook monarch: Feast on bites fit for royalty. Refresh yourself with potions and potent potables aplenty. Take in dazzling acts and beautiful arias that arc throughout Central Library. Explore prizes and treasures in a silent auction sure to delight. Everything will be crafted magically by Calgary’s top culinary talents, performers, artisans, and artists.

The Lit Gala is the signature fundraising event of the Calgary Public Library Foundation, raising $1.35 million in support of vital programming and resources at Calgary Public Library. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our guests, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters.
