Dear Edwardians – the time is upon us for our 24th Annual, weekend-long celebration in San Francisco! This year The Edwardian Ball proudly present two nights of a playful new theme of "POP-UP!" in homage to author and patron-saint Edward Gorey's one and only pop-up book, and a myriad of pop-up experiences!

 

Continue to anticipate the unanticipatable as we mix and mingle art, music, theatre, dance, fashion, oddities, circus, and ephemeral pop-up experiences throughout the multiple floors of The Regency Ballroom, including an original staging of Gorey’s mysteriously tragic pop-up book “The Dwindling Party” across multiple times and locations throughout the weekend.

​
Nigh impossible to describe, but absolutely delightful to experience. The Edwardian Ball is an elegant and whimsical celebration of art, music, theatre, fashion, technology, circus, and the beloved creations of the late, great author and illustrator Edward Gorey.

​

Set in a re-imagined “Edwardian Era,” this multi-city, multi-media extravaganza has grown over the past TWENTY THREE years from an underground club party into an internationally recognized festival of the arts, now operating with the blessing of The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust.
