Gala ball Carnevale Meets Bollywood to he held this November
On 4 November Eventcepts will present a spectacular night of feasting and fun as they present the gala ball Carnevale Meets Bollywood at Peninsula Docklands.
Director of Eventcepts Connie Paglianiti has gone all out to bring together what promises to be an incredible spectacle on Melbourne’s social calendar. “After the success of previous years (gala balls) I truly wanted to create a spectacle like no other. My love of the color and flavour of the Indian culture coupled with my Italian heritage seemed like the perfect combination,” says Connie.
Carnevale Meets Bollywood will bring together the opulence of a grand Venetian Ball with an explosion of Bollywood flavour and colour promising to deliver an unparalleled experience. The evening is bound to be a cultural extravaganza and includes performances by the Chantoozies who will don saris for the occasion. The event will also support the charity Project Karma which does incredible work in rescuing, rehabilitating and protecting children in South East Asia. Most recently they played a pivotal role in Indonesia with the children affected by the earthquakes (http://www.projectkarma.org.au).

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
