Gala Ball May 2016
River City Ballroom's next Gala Ball will be held on Saturday 07 May, and tickets are now on sale! You can book your tickets below.
Big news: we have a gorgeous new location for our ball! Changes at our previous venue mean we can no longer hold our events there, so we are very excited indeed to announce that our 2016 Gala Balls will be at the Pullman Hotel on the corner of Ann and Roma Streets in the city centre. It's elegant and modern, with a beautiful new ballroom. We're thrilled to be going more upmarket!
In terms of convenience, it couldn't be better. On the doorstep are
- King George Square Car Park, which is $5 for all night on a Saturday,
- King George Square Busway Station,
- Roma Street Train Station, and
- Taxi ranks.
And if travelling home is too inconvenient, you can book a room and simply go upstairs to bed. Perfect!
As always, the ball will raise funds for Micah Projects. Over the last two years, we've raised over $13,500 from Gala Ball tickets and bar proceeds - incredible! Being at a licensed hotel means we can't run our own bar, but a portion of every ticket sold will still go to Micah to help Brisbane people make the transition from homelessness to permanent housing.
We'll also be presenting the Nadine Haag Memorial Award to a student who has worked hard to improve beyond our expectations. Find out more here about this prize and the very special person it commemorates.
Full price for tickets is $130, with an early purchase discount to $110 until Friday 08 April.
