Cassilis Spring Ball

19th OCTOBER 2024

It’s Official… The Cassilis Spring Ball is back in 2024 for another epic night of entertainment, dancing, and good ole fashioned country fun! This years ball is Great Gatsby 1920s theme and will be held once again in the Cassilis Community Hall. 

In 2022, after our little community had been through the Sir Ivan fire, years of drought, a mouse plague, COVID-19, and then floods a group of local ladies decided it was about time to give back and create an event to bring everyone together, celebrate all the incredible people in the area and raise much needed funds for the infrastructure development programs within the community.Backed strongly by the Cassilis District Development Group (CDDG), which was formed to represent, advocate, and fundraise for the Cassilis Community and District, we bring you our biennial Cassilis Spring Ball.

Ticket prices include Beer, Wine, Champagne, food and entertainment from the amazing Venus Band. We will once again have the fabulous Josephines on site making delicous cocktails for purchase as well as a silent and live auction. 

In 2022, the Cassilis Spring Ball raised over $20,000 for our community.

If you’d like to donate/sponsor this event please get in touch with the team at cassilisspringball@gmail.com

Please do not purchase as a ticket as a donation if you can not attend. Strictly over 18’s only.
