About Balerno Gala Events
The Balerno Children’s Gala has been uniting our local community through fun, celebration, and engaging children's activities in Balerno for over 100 years.
Throughout the year, we host a variety of community events in Balerno, including children’s discos and gatherings. Our highlight is Gala Week in May, which is packed with exciting activities such as parades, bike races, football, tennis, and much more. The celebrations culminate in our Gala Day, a fantastic community event filled with entertainment, games, and family fun.
Join us as we celebrate community spirit and create memorable experiences for children and families in Balerno.
