What is the Starfall Masquerade?
The Starfall Masquerade is a formal event that pays homage to the meteor showers seen over the Alpine Mountain Range in Europe during the winter ball season. It is an event that brings together all walks of life to celebrate in the revelry of the evening as equals. Originally a scandalous night of anonymity, we invite you to don your favorite mask, and join us on the dance floor for the nations largest masked ball.
