A stylish run for a greater cause!
Join us on Thursday, February 12, 2026, at Montreal’s Gare Windsor for a festive evening inspired by the world’s most elegant horse races. In a refined and immersive setting, Le Grand Derby is shaping up to be the must-attend event of the season in support for a vital cause: youth mental health in Quebec.
For over 20 years, the Valentine’s Day Ball has brought together more than 600 guests for an exceptional evening, driven by the strong commitment of business leaders from across the Greater Montreal region.
