Stanthorpe Apple and Grape Harvest Ball
Step into an evening of shimmer and celebration at the Diamond Jubilee Apple & Grape Gala Ball, the glittering opening to our main festival weekend.
Guests will enjoy a spectacular two-course menu crafted from the abundance of Granite Belt produce, with our celebrated regional wines beautifully incorporated into each dish.
The night will shine even brighter as we crown the 2026 Festival Ambassador and Fundraising Ambassador. These remarkable young leaders give so much to the festival and the wider community — their dedication, energy, and enthusiasm are truly among the brightest jewels in our Diamond Jubilee year.
We are also honoured to recognise our 2026 Life Member awardees, whose longstanding commitment continues to shape the legacy of the Apple & Grape Harvest Festival.
When the formalities conclude, the celebration continues — dance the night away as we usher in a sparkling weekend of festival festivities.
- General Admission – $110

Our VIP guests are invited to begin their evening in true diamond style at the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery. Enjoy canapés, beer, and wine as you witness the final step in the Festival Ambassador judging process.
Surrounded by dignatories, sponsors, and special guests, wander through the gallery, savour the artworks, and soak in the elegance of this exclusive cocktail party before the Harvest Ball begins.
