Event Details

Step back into the vibrant world of Revolutionary-era America—where powdered wigs meet pounding drums, minuets mingle with hip-hop remixes, and history is for everyone. The Liberty and Lace Ball honors the first steps toward independence—personal, cultural, and national—while recognizing that freedom in 1776 was not yet a reality for all. In the grand tradition of Revolutionary-era gatherings, guests are invited to celebrate progress, express their unique heritage, and dance in the enduring pursuit of liberty for everyone.
