Where/When are there masked balls held in or near Virginia?

I've always wanted to go to a masked ball. I'm looking for one to attend that is truly elegant, ball gowns and all, not just long A-line type dresses. How do I locate one? My searches are not coming up with much. Thanks.Where/When are there masked balls held in or near Virginia?
They are very few and far between. Almost all are private events held close to holidays.





However, there is something similar to what you may be interested in that occurs every July. The Mid-Summer Fantasy Ball is held to raise funds for MS research. Currently, the web site has been taken down but look for it around February when tickets go on sale.





Good luck!Where/When are there masked balls held in or near Virginia?
I would presume a masked ball would be held around Mardi Gras,in conjunction with the masked Mardi Gras balls in New Orleans.This usually happens around mid Februrary.Check with your local newspapers about this event.
