The 32nd Annual Mardi Gras Gala will be held on Fat Tuesday, February 17, 2026 at The Westin, Pittsburgh. 

The Mardi Gras Gala is a fundraising event that honors community leaders for their commitment and dedication to the Pittsburgh region. The event is traditionally supported by the corporate community through table sponsorships. The event has become one of Pittsburgh’s premiere social gatherings, and has been sold to capacity since its inception.

The Annual Mardi Gras Gala is a fun and upbeat event, which mirrors the activities and celebrations of the Mardi Gras Festival in New Orleans.  The highlight of our Gala is the crowning of the “Mardi Gras Honoree”, a prominent Pittsburgh community leader. The event will have roaming musicians, jugglers, stilt walkers and magicians. In addition, a French Creole New Orleans style sit-down dinner is provided along with an open bar. Music includes dance and Dixieland-style bands. The Mardi Gras atmosphere is created with a parade, extravagant decorations, beads, masks and doubloons.

The success of this event depends upon corporate sponsorships.
