THE SHOW Ball is back and the popular community event promises to be even bigger and better than in previous years!
Taking place on May 10, 2025, the annual Show Ball is one of Proserpine’s biggest events on the social calendar, with around 700 guests expected.
Not only is it a lot of fun – with live entertainment, raffles and delicious food on offer – but it also raises funds to support the Proserpine Showgrounds, home to the annual Show Whitsunday.
“The Show Ball is back, in 2025, and we are inviting everyone to take part in this exciting event, on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at the Proserpine Showgrounds,” organiser Elaine Riley said.
“The Show Ball was revived in 2021 and has since proved to be a glamorous, hot ticket item in the region’s social calendar.
“Each year, it gets better and, with a capped number of tickets, we expect it will be a sold-out event, as in previous years.”
Ms Riley said the Show Ball was a not-for-profit event, which raises funds to support the Proserpine Showgrounds, as well as providing a night of ‘fabulous entertainment’.
“The grounds and facilities have been the site of the annual regional show, and a local community venue for the region’s residents and community groups, for more than 112 years,” she said.
“It is an integral part of our local infrastructure.
“Like all such venues, it requires ongoing investment and maintenance to ensure its continued existence for generations to come.”
Ms Riley said she hoped businesses would be interested in supporting the community event, which in turn helps to keep the local showgrounds alive into the future.
“We would like to invite businesses to partner with us in this event,” she said.
“There are package options for consideration, alternatively, a donation for our monster raffle may be more appropriate.”
Entertainment for the evening is The Luke Geiger Band.
“Luke’s passion for Cowboy Country Music and his reputation for professional, nonstop, high energy performances has made him one of the most sought-after country performers in Queensland, captivating audiences with his unique sound and his dynamite live shows,” Ms Riley said.
The raffle will be run in partnership with the Show Ball and, in previous years, it has generated a lot of interest with some amazing prizes to be won.
