Welcome to a World of Shimmering Feathers

For 2026, our annual Gala will transport you to a world of shimmering feathers and tropical natural splendor. You’ll enjoy an evening of elegance in one of Vallarta’s most magical settings, complete with live entertainment, a Mexican feast, open bar, exclusive auction items, and some surprises along the way. For the second year running, singing sensation Brenda Gaviño, who regularly performs at Act2 and Nacho Daddy, will be joining us!

And it’s not just a fabulous party – it’s for a great cause! The Gala is our marquee fundraising event of the year, and this year all Peacock funds raised will support our 2026 Capital Campaign, with the ambitious goal of Greening Our Infrastructure and Making the Gardens More Climate Resilient.

Capacity is limited and we expect to sell out soon, as we did last year, so be sure to get your tickets now.
