About This Event
An evening of celebration, recognition and connection for our members.
Join the Traders Association Ella for our most anticipated evening of the year. The Annual Members' Gala Night brings together hospitality leaders, business owners and partners from across the Uva province for a night of fine dining, live music and celebration of our community's achievements.
This year we honour the standout businesses and individuals who have elevated tourism in Ella — from boutique stays around Little Adam's Peak to the cafés lining the road to Nine Arch Bridge. Expect an elegant evening, meaningful connections and a shared toast to the year ahead.
