About The Georgia Ballet
Founded in 1960 by Marietta native Iris Hensley, The Georgia Ballet is a non-profit organization committed to inspiring the public through professional ballet performance, unparalleled dance training and meaningful community outreach. We are continuously growing to meet the needs of the community while fulfilling our reputation as an outstanding arts organization.
The Moonlight Masquerade is an exclusive evening event hosted by The Georgia Ballet, blending the elegance of a masquerade with the thrill of the Halloween season for Adults 21+. Set in the heart of Marietta, GA, a city known for its rich history and popular ghost tours, the evening draws inspiration from the local lore. One such eerie landmark, The William Root House, is a notable stop on the tours, adding a layer of mystery and intrigue to the atmosphere.
Guests will enjoy a night under the stars with high-top tables, mingling, refreshments, and captivating ballet performances throughout the night. The event will also serve as a fundraiser to support The Georgia Ballet’s season, ensuring the continued growth and success of the arts within the community.
Masquerade masks will be required for entry, and for those who forgot or prefer a different style, beautifully decorated masks will be available for purchase at the entrance. Throughout the evening, guests can participate in various fundraising activities, including a silent auction featuring exclusive items and experiences, a wine pull offering a chance to win a bottle of fine wine, and themed photo opportunities to capture memories in an elegant and spooky setting.
