The Soirée des Grands A 2026 brings the design and building community together for a Demeure solidaire

Architecture sans frontières Québec (ASFQ) invites the architecture, design and building community to its major annual fundraising evening on Wednesday, November 11, in the ballroom of Marché Bonsecours.

After a sold-out 2025 edition, the Soirée des Grands A returns for its 18th year. A must-attend gathering for design and building professionals committed to social issues, the event offers a gourmet cocktail dinner overlooking Montréal’s Old Port.

A theme rooted in today’s realities

Under the theme “Demeure solidaire” (a home built on solidarity), the evening highlights the role of architecture in facing today’s crises: dignified, resilient housing in the face of climate extremes, and places that restore stability and dignity to people experiencing homelessness. The homelessness crisis will be addressed by the evening’s special guests.

An evening that supports a mission

Funds raised will finance ASFQ’s solidarity work in 2027, including its initiatives in climate resilience, international cooperation, urban solidarity, Indigenous housing and the circular economy. As the official humanitarian arm of the profession through its founding partner, the Ordre des architectes du Québec, the organization is also supported by a Circle of eight ambassador architects from the following firms:

MusicDJ Nalee, blending house, afrobeats and R&B.
