Together for diversity
The Vienna Rainbow Ball will return on January 23rd, 2027, at the Austria Trend Parkhotel Schönbrunn. We'll be celebrating diversity in all its facets together with the LGBTIQ community – all for a good cause.
Our Vienna Rainbow Ball team is committed to making this ball night a special event for our attendees. The net proceeds support the diverse activities of HOSI Vienna, such as organizing the Vienna Rainbow Parade, awareness campaigns, and the "Das Gugg" community center, a contact point for people in need of support and information on LGBTIQ issues.

When people are free in their being, feel beautiful as they are and don't have to pretend or hold back, but can enjoy, dance and celebrate with an open heart and a lot of joy, then the Rainbow Ball is the place to be. So many enthusiastic people celebrated with me at the midnight performance and overwhelmed me with their positive energy. It was great to sing for you, thank you.

For me, the Vienna Rainbow Ball is not only a very authentic and relaxed event, but also a powerful symbol of diversity and acceptance. Here we celebrate love in all its facets and set an example for a world in which we all have a place. Bravo, Rainbow Ball, for this inspiring event!
