The Duval Ball

Jacksonville doesn’t follow culture... We curate it!

The Duval Ball is the city’s premier avant-garde fashion gala — an immersive, high-fashion experience where art, performance, philanthropy, and bold self-expression collide.

Presented by Six in The City, this annual black-tie affair gathers creatives, tastemakers, entrepreneurs, artists, and visionaries under one roof for a night that feels cinematic, theatrical, and unforgettable.

🎭 2026 Theme: Cirque De Duval

Step into a world where couture meets spectacle!

Cirque De Duval transforms the traditional gala into a dramatic, art-driven fantasy — inspired by avant-garde circus aesthetics, surreal silhouettes, immersive lighting, live performance elements, and fashion as performance art.

This is not costume.

This is interpretation.

This is elevated theatrical glamour.

Think:

• Architectural gowns

• Sculptural tailoring

• Dramatic textures and metallics

• Statement headpieces

• Bold makeup

• High fashion risk-taking

This is your moment to be seen!

What To Expect:

✨ A curated red carpet experience

✨ Immersive visual installations & themed décor

✨ Live performance elements throughout the evening

✨ Fashion-forward crowd & elevated networking

✨ Music, dancing, and high-energy ambiance

✨ Exclusive photo moments

The Duval Ball is more than an event — it is a cultural statement for Jacksonville’s creative rise.
