3rd Annual Fezziwig Ball
2025-12-13 18:00 - 22:00 | Centennial Fine Arts Building, 910 East Aultman Street, Ely, NV, 89301, United States
3rd Annual Fezziwig Ball
Celebrate proper Christmas cheer in the absolute best fashion at the 3rd Annual Fezziwig Ball!
This party of the season takes place on December 13th, 6pm-10pm with the halls of the Centennial Fine Arts Building fully decked.
Fezziwig is a character from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. As Scrooge’s old boss, Fezziwig is meant to depict the absolute opposite of the well-known Christmas crank. Jolly, giving, and full of life, Fezziwig adored the holiday season and threw his very own Christmas Ball every year. The Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge back to one of these parties where he sees himself as a young man, in love with Christmas and having the best time.
A page straight out of the book, this year’s Centennial Fine Arts’ Fezziwig Ball is meant to capture the same jovial magic.
Period costume attire encouraged! Think Dickensian, mid-19th century garb. What is most important is that you have fun! This is the most wonderful time of the year, after all.
Look forward to the Elderblossoms performing. A live five-piece band, they will be providing the ambience and music for the evening.
Tickets are $50 per person. One ticket includes your food, drinks, and more!
Tickets can be purchased at Economy Drug, the White Pine Chamber of Commerce, and the Bristlecone Convention Center.
