Sat, Oct 17, 2026 · The Event Deck at L.A. LIVE · Downtown Los Angeles
The 2026 Children's Hospital Los Angeles Gala takes place Saturday, October 17, 2026 at The Event Deck at L.A. LIVE in Downtown Los Angeles. Michael Bublé headlines, Gina Rodriguez hosts, and radio personality Ellen K and philanthropists Kourtney and Justin Turner receive the Courage to Care Award, as CHLA spotlights its $1.25-billion anniversary fundraising campaign. Guests include entertainment figures, major donors, executives and philanthropists, and L.A. LIVE driveways get crowded on gala nights. Most of our guests for evenings like this book hourly as-directed service, and it's what we recommend: one dedicated chauffeur handles your arrival, waits nearby and is ready the moment you leave. Every quote is an all-in upfront price.
Reserve online in under a minute: enter your pickup and drop-off, pick a vehicle and see the flat total before you confirm. Nothing is charged when you book — a card is held securely on file — and cancellation is free up to 8 hours before pickup.
Galas run on their own schedule: cocktails, dinner, awards, Michael Bublé's performance and conversations after. With hourly service the same chauffeur drops you off, waits nearby and pulls up on your text, so you never wait on a curb or for a rideshare in Downtown traffic. Each booked hour includes 28 miles and any extra stops, like an after-party or a second home.
A Cadillac Escalade ESV is our most requested vehicle for black-tie evenings, with room for three to six guests in formal wear and a chauffeur in a black suit who opens your door at the arrival.
Hosting a table? An Executive Sprinter seats 12 and a Passenger Sprinter up to 14, so the whole group arrives together. Multi-vehicle convoys with coordinated departures are available for larger parties.
We pick up from homes and hotels in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, West Hollywood, Century City, Santa Monica and Downtown luxury residences, plus LAX and private aviation terminals. Your chauffeur coordinates the exact drop-off and pickup point around L.A. LIVE traffic controls.

Michael Bublé is the headline performer and Gina Rodriguez hosts. Ellen K and Kourtney and Justin Turner receive the Courage to Care Award.
Hourly is what most of our guests book and what we recommend. Gala end times vary and Downtown traffic around L.A. LIVE is heavy, so your chauffeur waits nearby and meets you on your text. Hourly starts at 4 hours for sedans and SUVs and 5 hours for Sprinters.
A First Class SUV (Cadillac Escalade ESV) is the most popular choice for couples and small parties. Groups of 7–14 usually book an Executive or Passenger Sprinter.
As soon as you're attending — Escalades book out early on gala nights. Pickups need at least 4 hours' notice and cancellation is free up to 8 hours before pickup.
