Harvest Ball 2025: A Sold-Out Night of Warmth, Dance, and Generosity

The 2025–2026 Chicago Ball Season opened beautifully on Saturday, October 18 with a sold-out Harvest Ball—a night filled with movement, connection, and the spirit of abundance.

Guests arrived dressed in warm autumn tones and came ready to share—not only wine and cheese, but stories, laughter, and a genuine sense of community. The foxtrot class was a clear favorite, with many dancers continuing to glide through the evening using the steps they had just learned. And as always, the quadrille brought joyful chaos and plenty of smiles to the dance floor.

With candlelit tables, a lively crowd, and a room full of generosity and good energy, the Harvest Ball was a joyful start to the season.
