Published on 13 January 2026
Love is in the air this Valentine’s Day, and the Rural City of Wangaratta invites you to make it unforgettable under a giant mirror ball for an evening of Latin, Jazz, and dancing at the much-loved Outdoor Ball.
Whether you’re celebrating with your special someone or enjoying the night with family and friends, this free event will have you swept onto the dancefloor for a salsa with music from Fiesta Central, who will bring their Colombian Salsa and Cumbia beats, infused with jazz and tropical styles.
Bring a picnic and enjoy a variety of food and drink options from local vendors, including local wines. For those looking to elevate their experience, VIP table bookings for ten guests are available online.
Rural City of Wangaratta Mayor, Irene Grant, said:
“The Outdoor Ball is a highlight of our community calendar. This event brings people together to celebrate summer and enjoy wonderful music in a beautiful setting. Merriwa Park truly comes alive with sound, light, dance, and the iconic mirror ball.”
Don't miss out on the opportunity to dance the night away and create memories under the stars this Valentine’s Day. We'll see you on the dancefloor!
