The Grand Exhibition is an annual event in aid of charity. The Rouge Revue hosted the first The Grand Exhibition in Cape Town in 2015 and Johannesburg followed suit.

Over the last two years Cape Town and Johannesburg have raised a combined R98 000 for the charity, Rape Crisis and The Breast Health Foundation.
