The Fiona Elsey Gala Ball – A Night to Remember.

Every two years, Ballarat sparkles just a little brighter… and this year, it's your turn to shine.

On Saturday 11 October, the Fiona Elsey Cancer Research Institute invites you to step into an unforgettable evening of glamour, generosity and celebration at the Fiona Elsey Gala Ball — held at a spectacular yet-to-be-revealed location in Ballarat.

With a secret theme to be unveiled soon and a night full of surprises in store, this is more than a ball — it's the social event of the year. Think show-stopping entertainment, exquisite food and wine, a dazzling live auction, and a dancefloor that won't quit.

Tickets are $200 each, with tables of 10 available for those who want to gather their favourite people for a truly magical night.

It only happens every two years. It will sell out. And it will be the talk of the town.

Details coming soon — but mark your calendar now. This is one date you don't want to double book.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
