A sea of bright colours, Brazilian dancers and feather boas flooded the Crown Palladium on Friday night as Carlton celebrated its 2016 Gala Ball – Rio Carnival style!

Over 1000 people packed the iconic ballroom in what was a successful night for the Club’s biggest fundraising event of the year.

Lively music, fabulous food and dazzling entertainment were on show, creating a wonderful atmosphere for everyone who attended.

The Ball also coincided with Carlton’s bye round, which meant the entire playing group was in attendance – the players hit the track the day after ahead of this week’s clash with GWS.

The Club would like to thank everyone who came along on the night, as well as everyone who donated an item. We sincerely appreciate your ongoing support.
