Inside Vancouver Entertains: The After Party in Photos

Once dinners concluded, every guest converged on the fifth floor of TELUS Gardens for the evening’s second act. Hazel and DESTINEAK brought the energy, and the dance floor filled quickly with black-tie lapels, sequined gowns and an array of on-trend and avant-garde looks.

Oakridge Park’s portrait studio became the night’s unofficial gathering point, camera shutters clicking steadily as guests slipped away between songs to capture the moment. Christie and David Garofalo, longtime Event Sponsors, were among those fielding the lens.

A Night That Delivered

By the time the guest performers and the last song played, Vancouver Entertains had raised more than three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, a number that will directly support Dr. Peter Centre, the Community-Based Research Centre, Ribbon Community, Health Initiative for Men, Qmunity and Kílala Lelum. In only its second year, the evening has already proven what its red ribbon represents, that Vancouver’s luxury community shows up, not only to be seen, but to give.
