🌸 Tickets Now Available: A Grand May Day Ball 🌸Calling all lovers of local history and Edwardian elegance! ✨
Get ready to dance the night away and step back in time with the Morning Star Lodge #20 IOOF and the El Dorado County Historical Society for a truly magical evening.
Experience the thrill of stepping onto the Morning Star Lodge's rare "floating" springboard dance floor—one of only a handful still surviving in the entire United States! To protect this architectural treasure, dancing has not been permitted in the ballroom in recent years. This makes our Grand May Day Ball an incredibly rare and exclusive opportunity to actually experience the magic of this floor exactly as it was intended. This is a true historical treat you won't want to miss!
đź‘€ Preview the Magic!
Next time you are strolling down Placerville's Main Street, be sure to check out the Morning Star Lodge's beautiful new window display. It offers a lovey sneak peek at the Edwardian elegance awaiting you at the ball!
