Festivals, Gala's and Casino's World Wide
Fiesta de Santo Tomas |
The use of the word Gala isn’t restricted to corporate event types. Charities and not-for-profit clubs are amongst the worst offenders of over using Gala. It first came to my attention when a car club in NSW, decided that adding the word ‘gala’ to the front of every event made it sound more important.

In general the word is over used and has lost its impact. Festes de La Merce Barcelona’s largest annual festival dedicated to the patron Saint of Barcelona — the Virgin de la Merce — runs for 4 days around September 24th.
