Join us for a spectacular night of celebration, entertainment and fundraising.
The Ronald McDonald House Ireland Annual Gala Ball returns on Friday, 27th November 2026, and we would be delighted to welcome you for one of the most anticipated nights of the year. Taking place in the stunning InterContinental Dublin, Ballsbridge, this special evening will bring together friends, supporters and partners of Ronald McDonald House Ireland for a night filled with laughter, entertainment, generosity and celebration.
Hosted by RTÉ Radio’s Shay Byrne, guests will enjoy a fabulous black-tie evening while helping to raise vital funds for families with seriously ill children. Every year, our Gala Ball provides an opportunity to celebrate the incredible community that stands behind Ronald McDonald House Ireland. It is a chance to reflect on the lives changed, the families supported and the difference that can be made when people come together for a common cause.
Most importantly, it is a chance to have a brilliant night out while supporting families during some of the most challenging times in their lives.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed with a drinks reception in one of Dublin’s most prestigious venues before taking your seat for an unforgettable evening of fine dining, entertainment and celebration.
Guests will enjoy:
Behind every room in Ronald McDonald House is a family facing a journey they never expected. The funds raised through our Annual Gala Ball help ensure that families can stay together and remain close to their child while receiving hospital treatment. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, Ronald McDonald House Ireland provides accommodation, comfort, care and practical support to families when they need it most. By joining us on the night, you become part of that story.
