Our mission is to raise money for local children's charities and to provide a venue for friends from away to have an opportunity to re-acquaint themselves with old friends and forge new relationships. It also allows us that chance to reminisce about stories and take a reprieve from our otherwise busy lives.
What it's About
The Holiday on the Harbour Charity Ball is a private event organized primarily by a committee of approximately 15 volunteers. Tickets to the events are sold through committee members to friends and acquaintances. The quasi-private nature of the event provides attendees with an opportunity to reconnect with friends and to meet like-minded individuals. The event always happens between Christmas & New Years, with the date floating between the 27th & 29th depending on what day Christmas falls on.
