2026 Yule Ball
Advertisement
The wizard activists of SPEWW are excited to invite you to the 2026 Yule Ball, on December 12th, 2026! The Yule Ball is an enchanted evening of well-mannered frivolity, celebrating our magical community and doing some good in the world!
Presale tickets to go on sale on Friday, July 24th at 5pm PST.
Generally Magical tickets are $45. Champion's Feast tickets are $105. Presales end September 13th and regular sales will resume at 5pm on September 14th at $55 for Generally Magical and $115 for Champion's Feast.
The Yule Ball is first and foremost, a dance! There will be music, themed cocktails, an expansive raffle, and a photo booth so you can capture the magic of the evening.
Wizarding attire or formalwear are strongly encouraged, and muggle street clothes may be subject to transfiguration. This event will be 21+, with NO underage wizards allowed.
Before the dance begins, we will be hosting the Champion’s Feast! Champion’s Feast tickets come with dinner, magical swag, and a seat at a table in the ballroom. Each table is named after a location in the Wizarding World so when you purchase your tables, your party can plan to sit together.
Got a whole Quidditch Team to bring? A limited number of whole tables are also available. Whole tables include eight Champion's Feast tickets, as well as the option to name your table and decide where in the ballroom it will be located. Champion's Feast Whole Tables are $850. (Whole tables will be available during presale at the same price, giving you a big price break over individual tickets, so summon your best magical friends and save some galleons.)
In the weeks leading up to the Ball, all guests will be challenged to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, a real-world competition designed to test your bravery, cunning, determination, and creativity. The winner of the Triwizard Tournament will receive a special award at the Ball!
This year, the Yule Ball is returning to the Mt. Hood Ballroom at the Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel. (An airport is a location where muggles gather to ride in large dragon-like flying machines, as they lack portkeys and broomsticks.) This venue features its own entrance, with bountiful and free parking, and lots of room for us to spread out in! Guests who like to dance into the wee hours will also be able to get discounted rooms at the hotel, so you won’t need to worry about apparition accidents or overcrowded Knight Buses. Once we have the link for these rooms, we'll add it here and make a post. Returning to the same venue is also giving us the chance to really lean into transforming the space to make it as magical as possible. Expect some new wonders this year!
SPEWW is an all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to literacy, equality, and human rights. We stand with the Wizarding fandom and believe there is still good to be done in Harry’s name. We are committed to helping uplift and empower the transgender community as well as create safe spaces for all LGBTQIA+ people in the HP fandom. We'll be announcing this year's charity closer to the our actual ball.
