Nigh impossible to describe, but delightful to experience, The Edwardian Ball is an elegant and whimsical celebration of art, music, theatre, fashion, circus, and the beloved creations of the late, great author and illustrator Edward Gorey.
Set in a romantically reimagined Edwardian-era, the Ball celebrates its 20th Anniversary in a thriving, two-night blend of subculture and participant-created revelry, described by the SF Weekly as “the quintessential must-never-miss event of the year!”
Friday night’s Edwardian World’s Faire presents an exposition of art, technology, a tribute to Gorey’s world of “The Lost Lions,” and a retrospective look at two decades of The Edwardian Ball. Saturday night we sweep the expo clear for Ballroom Dancing and a night of revelry for our 20th Anniversary soiree!
