What's on? in Vienna
January
Regenbogenball (Rainbow Ball)
Vienna is the city of classical dances, above all the waltz and with it stronghold of balls. And who believes it’s only for straight men and women is mistaken. The Rainbow Ball is completely in the hands of gays and lesbians and is under the sign of diversity, tolerance and openness.

Rosenball
Takes place at the same time as the world-famous Opernball, but is completely different. A fancy disco alternative in ball form.
May
Life Ball
A unique and from now on world-renowned queer party, which most definitely must be included in the highlights of the gay scene. As the largest benefit event in Europe in the fights against HIV/Aids, the Life Ball wishes to set an example against intolerance and prejudice. Look forward to a huge fashion show of another kind on the Rathausplatz and to the splendid ball in the Rathas. This show also attracts celebrities from around the world.
