Romantic ballroom events are as typically Austrian as the famous Sachertorte cake or a cup of Viennese melange coffee. With more than 400 events every year, Austria is the glamorous home of ballroom dancing, attracting thousands of visitors from all over the world.
However, there’s more to today’s balls than just doing the Viennese waltz or the quadrille. The opening dance and midnight interlude of the debutantes and debutants, the ladies’ gift, ball orchestra and a glass of champagne or two are the glamorous ingredients for an unforgettable night.
The ball season begins on November 11 of each year and traditionally ends on Shrove Tuesday. It reaches its peak in January and February. Some balls take place even later. Curious about what ball events take place in 2026? Take a look on the ball season calendar in Austria.
The most famous and biggest ball in Austria undoubtedly is the Vienna Opera Ball. Celebrities from all over the world come to this renowned event to do the waltz and enjoy the history-charged atmosphere of the Vienna State Opera. Tickets for the ball are so popular that it’s strongly advised to book your tickets for next year’s event right after this year’s ball. However, Austria’s ball season has more to offer than just the Vienna Opera Ball. With many other events all across the country, Austria is a paradise for ballroom dancers.
