Fête 2025
Ballet Austin’s Premier Fundraising Gala

Saturday, October 4, 2025
JW Marriott Austin

6PM Cocktails | 7PM Dinner | 9PM Dancing | 11PM Goodnight!

Dinner | Auction | Dancing | Decadence

Join Austin’s most fabulous and fearless for a night of high drama as we toast the 25th anniversary of Artistic Director Stephen Mills—and get a delicious taste of his upcoming world premiere, Marie Antoinette: Vampire Queen of Versailles, during Fête 2025, the not-to-miss gala of the year.

Expect elegance. Expect extravagance. Expect the unexpected.

Don your finery, sharpen your fangs, and prepare for a soirée dripping in decadence. The evening begins with cocktails and a lavish three-course dinner, followed by dancing, revelry and surprises worthy of Versailles. Then, when the chandeliers begin to shake, fête*ish takes over: our infamous late-night afterparty with DJ Cassandra, killer vibes, and plenty of plot twists.  

Your Invitation Awaits…
