The Edwardian Ball Weekend 2010

The Edwardian Ball Weekend 2010 takes place this weekend at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco with The Edwardian World’s Faire on Friday, January 22nd and The 10th Annual Edwardian Ball on Saturday, January 23rd.

The award-winning Edwardian Ball transforms the historic Regency Ballroom into a garden of delights, Friday and Saturday January 22nd and 23rd, 2010. Join a magical outdoors-indoor symphony of music, theatre, dance, art, storytelling, circus arts, fashion, technology, and, of course, the art & stories of Edward Gorey. The festivities feature a dizzying assortment of artists and performers, where high-flying trapezes and steam-powered machines paint an elegant backdrop for costumed ballgoers reveling through the night. Here, the old world meets the world-to-be with an unforgettable tip of the top hat, cinch of the corset, and a splash of absinthe poured over a silver spoon.
