Boots and Ballgowns

Get ready, Illawarra, Boots & Ballgowns is the country-glam event we’ve all been waiting for. For one unforgettable night, the WIN Entertainment Centre will be transformed into a breathtaking Western-themed wonderland, complete with a dirt arena floor, spectacular styling, world-class entertainment and a night dedicated to community, celebration and mental health.

Hosted by Wollongong Crane Trucks and Tiny Tins, this formal, seated event brings together everything we love about country culture, boots, hats, sparkles, line dancing energy and elevates it into a true red-carpet experience. Guests will enjoy a premium three-course dinner, a polished production, a vibrant atmosphere and entertainment that will blow you away.

We are excited to welcome both Robbie Mortimer, bringing his signature country sound and feel-good energy to the stage, and crowd-favourite DJ Nudge, who will keep the dance floor alive long into the night. Plus a thrilling live auction, raffles and a dance floor that won’t stay empty for long.

With overwhelming interest already pouring in, Boots & Ballgowns will sell out fast. This is your chance to secure a table for a night that blends glamour with purpose raising vital funds for Talk2MeBro, supporting suicide prevention and mental health in honour of Darren Mortimer.

Presale starts Monday 24 November at 10am.
General public is on sale Tuesday 25 November at 10am.
Tables of 8 only – limited availability.
