Bundaberg is set to host a truly memorable evening of celebration, reflection, and generosity with the Bundaberg Spirit of Service Gala – a brand-new event designed to honour service, bring the community together, and raise vital funds for local veteran support organisations. 

Held at the Bundaberg RSL Club on Saturday 26 February 2028 in Quay Street, this gala promises to be one of the region’s most anticipated social occasions of the year, combining red carpet glamour with a heartfelt purpose. 

An Evening to Remember

From the moment guests arrive on the red carpet, the Spirit of Service Gala sets the tone for a night of elegance and celebration. Attendees will enjoy:

• Riverside sunset canapés on the Burnett Riverbank

• A three-course gala dinner with all-inclusive drinks

• Inspiring keynote speeches, including from acclaimed speaker Rob Redenbach

• Live entertainment, exclusive prizes, and special surprises throughout the night

• A chance to dress up in formal or black-tie attire for what has been dubbed Bundaberg’s Night of Nights. 

This combination of sophistication and community spirit makes the gala not just a social highlight, but also a meaningful way to connect and celebrate together. 

Purpose Behind the Celebration

While the evening is rich in glamour and entertainment, its heart lies in making a real impact. Every ticket sold contributes directly to local organisations that support veterans transitioning from military service into civilian life. These organisations include:

• State Emergency Service (SES)

• Rural Fire Service

• Meals on Wheels

• Legacy

The aim is to provide ongoing support, programs, and opportunities that reflect the enduring commitment of those who have served.

A First of Its Kind for Bundaberg

This gala marks the first event of its kind in the Bundaberg region – a dedicated celebration of service that goes beyond remembrance to active contribution. Seats and table packages are limited, and interest is expected to be strong, so early bookings or waitlist registration are encouraged for those who want to be part of this historic evening.

For individuals and businesses looking to amplify their impact, exclusive sponsorship opportunities offer added visibility, networking, and recognition throughout the event.

Join the Movement

The Bundaberg Spirit of Service Gala is more than just a beautiful night out – it’s a celebration of community, gratitude, and purpose. Whether you’re attending to support our veterans, enjoy a stunning night of entertainment, or connect with local leaders and neighbours, this gala promises to leave a lasting impression long after the final toast.
