Young people across the Snowy Valleys are invited to dress up, hit the dance floor and celebrate with friends at the inaugural SVC Youth Council Starry Night Ball on Saturday 18 April at Club Tumut.

Tickets include entry, finger foods, cake and non-alcoholic drinks, with alcoholic beverages available for purchase for those aged 18+.

Cocktail attire is encouraged, and all eyes will be on the dancefloor as the King and Queen of the Ball are crowned during the evening.

Early bird tickets are now available for $45, before increasing to $65 closer to the event date. A return bus from Tumbarumba and Batlow is also available for $10pp.

Tickets are expected to sell quickly, so young people are encouraged to secure their spot early and start planning their show-stopping look.
