Cllr. Peter Keane, Mayor of Galway City, is delighted to officially launch the Mayor’s Charity Ball 2025, which will take place on Friday, 13 June 2025, at the Ardilaun Hotel, Galway. The much-anticipated annual event promises a memorable evening of celebration, entertainment, and community spirit — all in aid of four exceptional local charities.
This year, Galway Autism Partnership, Galway Down Syndrome, The Blue Teapot Theatre Company, and Rosabel’s Rooms have been selected as the Mayor’s chosen beneficiaries, with all proceeds from the event being directed to support their vital work across Galway City and beyond.
“I cannot believe how quickly my term as Mayor of Galway City has passed,” said Mayor Keane, speaking at the launch held at Blackrock Cottage this week. “I am delighted to host this year’s Mayor’s Charity Ball at The Ardilaun Hotel. The charities I have chosen are truly worthy of all the financial support such an event can provide, and I am deeply honoured to be able to assist them in this small way.”
Guests on the night will enjoy a Drinks Reception at 7:00pm, followed by a four-course gourmet meal, a charity auction, and raffle — all accompanied by a stellar lineup of live entertainment.
The evening will be expertly compered by Mr. Keith Finnegan, Freeman of Galway, with special guests to be announced. Musical performances include the soul-stirring The Village Community Choir from Salthill, Traditional Music, and the ever-popular Byrne Brothers, with DJ Lar spinning 80s and 90s favourites late into the night.
The Mayor’s Charity Ball 2025 is set to be a highlight of Galway’s social calendar, offering a unique opportunity for the public to support local charities while enjoying a night of glamour and goodwill.
