Join us in opening the 28th Vienna Rainbow Ball!
On January 24, 2026, the Parkhotel Schönbrunn will once again transform into a place full of glamour, diversity, and color – and you can be right in the middle of it!On January 24, 2026, the Vienna Rainbow Ball will open its doors for the 28th time, and you can help shape this magical night. The opening of this special evening is not only a dance highlight but also a powerful symbol of diversity, respect, and solidarity within the LGBTIQ community. Those who join the opening committee dance not only for the audience but also for a fairer world where everyone can live freely and autonomously.
Your commitment matters
The Rainbow Ball is a benefit event that goes far beyond dancing. By participating, you actively support the work for greater acceptance and equality. You become part of a movement advocating for an open society, while experiencing a night full of glamour, connection, and emotion.
For the upcoming ball, the committee has been divided into two groups for the first time to allow as many people as possible to participate: One group is for dancers with basic waltz knowledge who want to experience the ball atmosphere for the first time. The second group welcomes dancers with experience at the silver level or higher (even without an official badge). This creates a shared opening that offers space for both beginners and advanced dancers to get involved and be visible.
