On Sunday, September 1, the National Union of Greek Australian Students (NUGAS) hosted its annual Gala Ball at the Crown Palladium in Melbourne, Victoria.
The event, which sold out well in advance, has firmly established itself as the premier Greek Australian university student event nationwide, attracting over 800 attendees.
Guests enjoyed an opulent evening complete with gourmet dining, drinks and a series of exceptional performances.
The entertainment featured a stellar lineup of Melbourne’s leading Greek musicians, including Dimitri Kavadas, Steve Pavlidis, George Kirkopoulos, Jack Xanthopoulos, Nick Tzitzivakos, Theano Milides, Angelo Trantafilopoulos, Gav T and Yianni Kozi.
The vibrant atmosphere was further enhanced by Club DJs Kosta Nico, Thomas Nico and MC George Ross, ensuring an unforgettable night.
After the ball, the celebration continued at an exclusive afterparty at Crown’s Therapy Nightclub, where guests partied into the early hours.
Co-Presidents Chris Giannaros and Angelica Spiliopoulos-Angsiting, along with the 2024-2025 NUGAS board, expressed their deep appreciation to partner organisations and all those involved for their continued support.
Established in 1972, NUGAS is a prominent organisation that represents Greek Australian students across Australia.
NUGAS serves as an umbrella group for Greek student societies at various universities, coordinating cultural, social, and educational activities. It plays a crucial role in connecting Greek Australian youth with their cultural heritage, offering opportunities for networking, leadership, and community engagement.
Events such as the annual Gala Ball, soccer tournaments, and other cultural celebrations are integral to its mission of uniting Greek Australian students.
