Winter Solstice Masquerade Ball Brings Mystery and Magic to Redmond

REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ)-- If you’re looking for something festive to do between Christmas and New Year’s, there’s a unique way to celebrate in Central Oregon, a Winter Solstice Masquerade Ball in Redmond.

The High Desert Music Hall will host the event on Saturday, December 27th, offering a night of music, magic, and mystery. Organizers say the ball celebrates the lesser-known, “forgotten side” of the Yule season, full of mischief, tradition, and old-world charm.

Raechel Gilland, organizer of the event told KTVZ News “Please come dance dressed to your best. If you do not have a mask, we have some masks available for purchase. If you love Christmas, if you love partying, if you love tradition or Renaissance fairs or performance arts of any kind, we're going to have fun,”

The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with several performances, including burlesque and magic acts. After dinner and entertainment, guests can take to the open dance floor for the rest of the night.

The masquerade is for adults, with tickets priced around $50. A special sale is underway, offering a package that includes two tickets and a pair of masks for the ball.

Tickets and event details are available online through Adventure Times Entertainments and the official Winter Solstice Masquerade Ball social media pages
