One of Mackay’s biggest red-carpet events is back at the MECC in May 2024!
After a successful 2023 Ball that raised almost $100,000 for two local charities, the 2024 event is expected to be bigger than ever!
Ball-goers will revel in a night to remember celebrating iconic Mackay, with live music by the world-class Elton John Experience. With his virtuosic piano playing, combined with his vocal timbre, it is no surprise that Greg Andrews is internationally recognised as one of the best Elton John tribute artists in the world.
Complimented by Channel 7’s Weekender host and the evening’s emcee Chris Parsons, local entertainment by Mango Junction and unbelievable auction items up for grabs, it’s one night only and not to be missed!
Funds raised at the event will be donated to two incredible local charities this year – the Australian Street Aid Project and Grapevine Group.
The event will run from 6pm until late at the MECC.
