The Ball
An evening for the people behind Vienna's hospitality
Day after day, restaurateurs, hoteliers, chefs, service professionals and countless partners across the industry create the experiences Vienna is known for far beyond its borders. On 28 January 2027, they take centre stage themselves.
The Wiener Ball der Gastronomie combines classic Viennese ball culture with cuisine, conversation and contemporary entertainment. It gives the full breadth of the industry a stage — from the long-established family business to the young restaurant, from the hotel to the supplier, from the apprentice to the seasoned executive.
Hosts become guests
One night where what matters is not the working day, but celebrating together.
An industry comes together
A meeting point for restaurants, hotels, tourism, business and partner companies.
Viennese tradition, rethought
Ball culture with character, pleasure and a contemporary view of the people who shape how Vienna hosts.
