Who will be named All-Australian?

Where will the 2024 AFL Masters National Carnival be held?

The magnificent Aussie World will hold the 2023 AFL Masters National Carnival Gala Presentation Night on Saturday 7 October 2023 from 6.00pm to 11.30pm.

Join us as we celebrate the end of the biggest ever AFL Masters National Carnival in our 43 year history and listen to the announcement of the Best & Fairest players as well as the presentation of the AFL Masters All Australian Teams for each age group.

Triple premiership player with the Brisbane Lions and Fox Footy commentator Alastair Lynch will be our MC for the night.

Tickets for the Gala Presentation Night are already included in the National Carnival registrations for all players but additional tickets for non-playing participants as well as family & friends can be purchased via each State’s or Territory’s respective carnival committee.

Aside from being at one of the Southern Hemisphere’s great theme parks with a generous 5 hour drink package and vouchers for food, patrons will be entertained by a live band Eighties Recall in the shed til closing.

There will be loads of entertainment throughout the night – from face painters, stilt walkers and balloon artists through to fire shows and roof top fireworks.

The kids will have unlimited soft drinks, ice cream and fairy floss to make their night absolutely one to remember.

State/Territory Polo shirts are to be worn whilst suitably enclosed footwear is recommended for rides. As with any theme park there will be height and age retrictions on some rides & attractions, whilst riders must be in good health & free from any potentially adverse medical conditions.

The night will conclude with the traditional announcement of the host city for the 2024 AFL Masters National Carnival. Where will it be?
