THE GARDEN PARTY ON THE RIDEAU 

SOLD OUT event for THE OTTAWA HOSPITAL by sheshopslocal.ca

One Summer Evening. One Waterfront. One Cause Worth Showing Up For.

The Ottawa Hospital Foundation is coming back to Manotick – and you’re invited to be part of it.

August 5, 2026. A private waterfront estate on the Rideau. An evening of extraordinary food, great company, and a cause that touches every family in Ottawa.

This is The Garden Party on the Rideau – and tickets are already going fast.

What Your Ticket Actually Does:
$100 from every ticket goes directly to The Ottawa Hospital Foundation and you will receive a tax receipt.
That’s not a donation ask on top of the price. That’s already built in.

Our goal is to raise $25,000 — and we’ll present that cheque live, at the party, surrounded by the people who made it happen.

You will be the ones who make this happen. This is what the tickets support.

From the moment you arrive, this evening is designed to delight.

Welcome bites from Sharecuterie2go greet every guest at the door — yes, your welcome gift is edible.

Then explore a garden alive with flavour:

Fresh-shucked oysters from Off the Hook — new this year
Live pasta crafted before your eyes by Angelina’s
Sushi made to order from Heist Manotick
Pizza, gelato, and coffee from The Beachcomber Cafe
A spectacular Dessert Table curated by the Executive Chef at The Miller and Manotick Retirement Place
Kingslock Distillery — back by popular demand
And yes, there’s a photo moment at The Ottawa Hospital Foundation media wall. Dress for it.

The Cause
This isn’t just a party. It’s a front-row seat to what’s possible in Canadian healthcare.

You’ll hear directly about the breakthroughs being pioneered at The Ottawa Hospital — one of the world’s leading medical institutions.

“This is more than an event — The Garden Party is a celebration of community, care, and the beauty of summer in Ottawa.”
