Take Part in the Most Anticipated Night of the Gala Season
Winter Black and White
Black Tie
Now in its 20th year, the Winter Wonderland Ball remains NYC’s most fashionable party of the holiday season, a black-tie event featuring cocktails, dinner, and dancing in sight of the Haupt Conservatory’s twinkling holiday display. Begin the evening with cocktails under the dome of the Palms of the World Gallery, toasting the Holiday Train Show® amid an expanded exhibition of trains, bridges, and tracks—a New York landscape in miniature built on decades of tradition. Afterward, join fellow guests in the Conservatory Tent for a party unlike any other, with gourmet dining, followed by a night of swirling gowns and perfect playlists.
