Friday, January 22nd ~ The Edwardian World's Faire
Our two-night celebration unfolds with the renowned World's Faire. Pack your bags and prepare for a turn-of-the-century inspired excursion to faraway lands. Historic and novel characters intermingle; true-life adventures blend with fantastical lands; live the excitement of the age of exploration, reimagined through the lens of today and beyond. Get lost in our delightful Gaming Garden, where characters, tricks, and games of chance weave a backdrop to steam-powered creations and chance encounters. Revel in a modern day Belle Époque where cultures meet, blend, dance, and collide. A worldly adventure ahead of Saturday night's Ball, our World's Faire presents a once-in-this-lifetime adventure!

Saturday, January 23rd ~ The 16th Annual Edwardian Ball
Following our worldly revelry, we return to the Ballroom for the most decadent night of our season, presented by co-hosts Rosin Coven and The Vau de Vire Society. Ballroom dancing leads way to stunning performances both on and offstage in a collage of fashion, theatre, music, circus performance, and dance. Each year, The Edwardian Ball presents a featured Edward Gorey tale in an original stage performance. This year's event takes a unique turn, with Edwardian founders Rosin Coven teaming up with longtime collaborators Dark Garden Corsetry in an operatic presentation of Gorey's ridiculous tale, "The Stupid Joke." Expect anything but stupidity as these masters of their craft collaborate in an unforgettable tale of a poorly planned joke gone incredibly wrong… And in the spirit of celebrating all things Edward Gorey, Vau de Vire Society presents a series of vignettes throughout the evening paying homage to the most controversial works of the (in)famous illustrator...guaranteed to pop corsets and ruffle coat-tails!

Saturday, February 27th ~ The 7th Annual Edwardian Ball Los Angeles
Once again we spread our gilded wings and fly south for the winter, returning to the beautiful, historic Fonda Theatre in the heart of Hollywood for the 7th Annual Edwardian Ball Los Angeles. The finest features and treasures of our San Francisco weekend are packed in our carriages and strewn forth in elegant excitement for a one-night-only celebration, blending with our LA Edwardian friends and family and all the wonders they bring to the table. live music, theatre, fashion and cosplay, circus, fine art, riveting stage shows, black comedy, science fiction, literature, ballroom dancing, and DJs blend in a whirlwind extravaganza. Imagine a romanticized, gilded and gentile Neo-Victorian and Edwardian-era conjuring an elegant, alternate-reality future. Delightful attractions include a free portrait booth, rooftop vending and dancefloor, mystical and nonsensical oddities, absinthe cocktails, parlour games, alluring sideshows, tarot, and much more.
