Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, México – An evening of elegance, nature, and purpose awaits at the Peacock Gala, set for Saturday, February 21, 2026 at the Vallarta Botanical Garden. This extraordinary fundraising celebration invites guests to step into a beautifully transformed garden setting for a night dedicated to conservation, education, and community connection.
Held after hours in one of the region’s most enchanting natural spaces, the Peacock Gala offers a rare opportunity to experience the gardens in a new way. Pathways and conservatories will be softly illuminated for an exclusive nighttime stroll, creating a magical atmosphere where guests may even encounter one of the garden’s resident peacocks. The evening blends natural beauty with refined touches, making it both memorable and meaningful.
Guests will enjoy a four-course dinner inspired by the flavors of the Cabo Corrientes region, paired with an open bar throughout the evening. Live entertainment adds to the celebration, beginning with performances by acclaimed vocalist Brenda Gaviño, followed by a high-energy finale from Banda Monaco, one of Vallarta’s most sought-after dance bands.
Beyond the dining and entertainment, the gala plays a vital role in supporting the ongoing work of the Vallarta Botanical Garden. Funds raised help sustain its efforts to protect native plant life, expand educational programs, and strengthen ties with the local community. Guests will also have the chance to bid on unique auction items donated by respected local partners, including Hyden Designs (local handmade furniture), The Tryst Puerto Vallarta, and Café des Artistes, with additional items to be announced.
Individual tickets are priced at 3,600 pesos per person, with a maximum of six tickets per purchase, or guests may reserve a full table of ten. Each ticket includes full access to the event, dinner, and open bar. For added convenience, round-trip transportation by bus from Zona Romántica is available for an additional 400 pesos per person. The dress code is business casual, though guests are encouraged to express themselves with festive, formal, colorful, or creative attire as they wish.
With its blend of fine dining, live music, and a meaningful cause set against the backdrop of a spectacular garden at night, the 2026 Peacock Gala promises to be a standout event of the season. Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased at vbgardens.org.
