Description

OCA 73rd Annual Christmas Gala

On Saturday, November 30th, 2024 the 73rd Annual OCA Christmas Gala will be held in the Fairmont Chateau Laurier.

This always has been a great evening of fine dining and entertainment set in the oppulent Ballroom of the Chateau. For 2024, OCA is raising the bar even further to ensure an exceptional 1st class black-tie experience. Expect to see upgraded decor, seating, wine selection and fun post dinner options on top of the entertainment provided by Rob D'Urbano and his Sway Band.

One change will include OCA booking the entire back area of the Chateau Laurier - the Ballroom, the Laurier Room and the Drawing Room. The additional space will ease the crowded hallway reception space of prior years and allow us space to include a casino post-dinner and more fun options like the popular photo booths - both the 360 photobooth and the standard pose photobooth.

Evening Schedule

5:00 pm - Join us for a welcome reception hosted in the Drawing Room outside of the Ballroom.

6:15 pm - Opening speeches, and then we commence a 1st class fine-dining experience 

9:00 pm - 1:00 am: Casino, Dancing and Fun!

Feeling lucky? Try your hand at the Casino in the Laurier Room. 

Break in those dancing shoes with Rob D'Urbano's Sway Band in the main Ballroom.

Capture the moment in our photo booth! 

No matter what you choose to do for the evening, know that you will be amongst the company of friends, celebrating one of the most magical times of the year. We are looking forward to spending the evening with you.
