Black and white cocktail attire is encouraged at Wonderball, so show off your creativity! This year’s new style element is Baroque; indulge in opulence, drama, and dare to be different by adding a touch of gold or any other ornate detail to your ensemble.
Parking is complimentary, but no tickets will be sold at the door. To purchase tickets and for more information, click here.
