BLACK TIE MASQUERADE BALL

This isn’t just a New Year’s Eve party. This is a moment. A celebration, A grown-folks luxury experience.

Step into the Grand Ballroom of the Holiday Inn in Elgin and leave ordinary at the door. This NYE, we’re raising our glasses, our standards, and our voices to celebrate Black Abundance in full glam, grace, and excellent fashion.

Image this... A red carpet entrance. Black and gold candlelit tables. The sound of sweet saxophone music, floating through the air, as plated meals are served. Laughter from a top-tier comedian. 2-hour open bar. A countdown showered in champagne, confetti, and resilience.

And everyone— sweetly dipped in formalwear, masked in mystery, glowing in elegance.

Whether you're coming for the dinner, the dancing, the comedy, the open bar, the culture, or to support community… this is THE NYE destination for Kane County’s finest and flyest 30+ crowd.

✨ Formal attire required. Mask mandatory. Standards high.🎟️ Limited seats. Don’t meet us there—beat us there.

Because ordinary is cancelled.Welcome to the Black Abundance Masquerade Ball.
