The ball season in Vienna is in full swing and offers a colourful programme with numerous highlights.

Under the motto "G´schneitzt & kamplt!" the Styrian Ball invites you to the Hofburg and presents not only a wood carver but also the German band Boney M. as a star guest. The balls of the universities and the Viennese economy also promise musical highlights. But not only the well-known balls, but also traditional events such as the Hunter's Ball and the Rudolfina-Redoute provide variety and entertainment. The Opera Ball, which is taking place without Richard Lugner for the first time this year, forms the glamorous conclusion of the ball season.

Eastern Styria Presents Styrian Ball in Viennese Hofburg

Under this year's motto "G´schneitzt & kamplt!" the Association of Styrians invites you to the Styrian Ball in the Hofburg. This is presented by the region of Eastern Styria, which is known for its forests and its timber industry. Accordingly, a wood carver will shape a small work of art from a log during the evening, which will be auctioned off for a good cause after midnight. The star guest of the ball is the German disco band Boney M., who will create a good atmosphere at midnight with hits like "Rivers of Babylon" and "Daddy Cool".

Balls of WU Vienna and BOKU Vienna

The university ball season begins on January 11th with the ball of the Vienna University of Economics and Business, which is organised by the WU Vienna and the Student Union of the WU. The two WU graduates Sandro Humitsch and Clemens Reinsperger and their bands in the Viennese Hofburg will provide musical highlights. The Vienna University of Technology also invites you to their ball evening under the motto "Panta rhei - everything in motion" in the Hofburg on January 30th. BOKU Vienna opens its ball evening in the Vienna City Hall on January 10th under the motto "Panta rhei - everything flows".

Vienna Business Ball with Eros Ramazotti

The Vienna business community will celebrate their ball at the Hofburg on January 24, expecting a musical superstar: Italian pop singer Eros Ramazzotti will create a vibrant atmosphere with his hits like "Un emozione per sempre" at midnight. The Confectioners' Ball on January 16 at the Hofburg also promises musical highlights with musical actress Maya Hakvoort as the star guest.

Coffee House Ball in Vienna Hofburg in Honor of Johann Strauss Jr.

The Hofburg will also become the largest and most beautiful coffee house in the world when the Vienna Coffee House Owners' Ball takes place on January 23 under the motto "Waltz-Schani - Spring Coffee". Johann Strauss Jr. will be honored on his 200th birthday. Also on January 23, the 82nd Ball of the Philharmonic will take place in the halls of the Vienna Musikverein building. Richard Strauss composed a fanfare for the first Philharmonic Ball, which has been played every year at the opening of the ball night since then.

Not only the well-known balls, but also traditional events such as the Hunters' Ball, which takes place for the 102nd time on January 27 at the Hofburg, provide variety and entertainment. This was created out of the desire to support hunters in need and their families. At the end of the ball season, the Elmayer-Kränzchen is on the program, on Shrove Tuesday (March 4).
