It’s that time of year again: Carnevale season. Time to dust off that ball gown and press your suit and, in keeping with tradition, The Italian Society proudly presents The Masquerade Ball 2012.
The Carnevale is a festival in Venice that begins around two weeks before Lent and ends on Shrove Tuesday. Everyone wears masks and costumes, making it one of the most awesome events you can possibly witness in Italy and now Galway. The Italian Society’s Carnevale Masquerade Ball is a celebration of this festival that the Italian people cherish so dearly. To take part in this ball is to also take part in and celebrate Italian culture at its best.
· This year Masquerade Ball will be held in the Salthill Hotel on February the 1st 2012.
· Full tickets only 50 euro (includes 4 course meal)
· Afters tickets 20 euro
· Many prizes to be won on the night.
· This year all money raised will go to the Galway Parkinson’s Association.
· Masks will be provided (or bring your own if you wish).
· Tickets are on sale from the Socs Box.
· Promises to be a night of music fun and celebration!
Come Experience a night of mystery...
The Italian Society helps unite Italian and Irish students. It celebrates everything Italian. We welcome Italian students to Galway and encourage them to practice their English with Irish students while we encourage Irish students studying Italian to practice the language with real Italians. We have events which celebrate Italian culture such as an Italian film series and a 'bring a dish night' and also, we have events that mix both Irish and Italian culture together such as our Irish/Italian quiz. Our biggest event is our annual Carnevale Masquerade Ball which celebrates the festival of Carnevale in Venice. Every year the ball is for a different charity. And best of all, next semester, we are hoping to organise a trip to Italy!
Anyone can join, whether you're a fluent Italian speaker, haven't a word of the language, or just want to come along for the food and the fun. Hope to see you soon. Arrivederci!
So, the time is finally here! You can finally book your tickets for our Carnevale Masquerade Ball 2010, our biggest event of the year. We're collecting €20 deposits now (€45 in total) at the Socs Box until Friday 22nd January.
Carnevale is a week long celebration in Venice and is one of the most awesome events you can possibly witness in Italy. This Carnevale Masquerade Ball is a celebration of this festival that the Italian people cherish so dearly! To take part in this ball is to also take part in and celebrate Italian culture at its best.
You cannot possibly miss out on one of the most special balls you can attend this year. You can bring whomever you wish as anyone can attend, not only NUIG students. For the fantastic price of €45 you will be getting a three course meal, free wine at our special wine reception and much entertainment including our terrific cover band F.Y.C. and our fabulous Fifties DJ Kit, as well as some lovely surprises. And what's more all the proceeds go to the magnificent charity that is Ability West who work with people with mental disabilities to fulfil their true potential.
The Ball takes place on Friday the 12th of February from 6 p.m. in the Galway Bay Hotel. Carnevale runs from the 6th to the 16th of February this year so this is why the date of our Ball has special significance. So, because we all can't pop over to Venice to enjoy the festivities, what better way to celebrate the festival than with your very own Italian Society! Also, with the Ball being so close to Valentine's Day, a ticket to this Ball would make the ultimate Valentine's Day present!
