Food For Love Charity Gala & Auction

15 Oct, 2026

Lake Wanaka Centre

If you’re looking for an evening that combines great food with a meaningful cause, this charity gala offers just that. You’ll enjoy a three-course dinner and a welcome drink while hearing from celebrity chef Simon Gault, who shares insights on resilience and rethinking how we eat. The event also features live music from local artist Ryan Caldwell, keeping the energy up as you move between the silent and live auctions. There’s even a prize for best dressed, encouraging you to bring your style to the night. Beyond the food and entertainment, the auctions add a lively edge to the evening, giving you a chance to bid on unique items while supporting a community that received over 10,000 meals last year. Whether you come with friends or meet new faces, the mix of dining, music, and spirited bidding creates a memorable night that balances fun with purpose. It’s a chance to enjoy yourself while contributing to something bigger.
