The Ballet Ball

The annual Ballet Ball is our most important fundraising event each year, supporting the artistry of Milwaukee’s world-class ballet and our outstanding education and community engagement initiatives. Known as one of the best parties in town, it truly is a “party with a purpose”, raising much-needed funds to sustain our mission of delivering inspiring performances, community engagement, education, and training.

You know the story. Cinderella, the Prince, a fairytale Ball.
