2024 Garden Party at Assiniboine Park

A Picnic in Provence

The sold-out Garden Party was a tremendous success!

The evening was filled with music and dancing, delectable delights, themed entertainment, and an abundance of joie de vivre as we gathered to raise funds for the ongoing care of Assiniboine Park, Assiniboine Park Zoo, and The Leaf. Merci to all who supported and attended our annual fundraising event!
