The August Moon Ball returns

The traditional annual event is being held again at Verdala Palace on Saturday, August 6. The 16th century palace is a magical setting for this enjoyable evening, all for a good cause. Funds collected will go towards the Malta Community Chest Fund, which is a charitable foundation chaired by the President, currently Marie-Lousie Coleiro Preca. Its aim is to help philanthropic institutions and individuals with different needs. Patrons will get to dine under the moon in the gardens of the palace which overlook a good part of Malta. A lavish meal will be served, accompanied by fine wines. This year, those attending will be entertained by the Brass House Unit, under the direction of Mro Kevin Abela. Tickets for the ball cost €80.
