An elegant yet whimsical homage to the Edwardian era and the creations of illustrator/author Edward Gorey, the Edwardian Ball now returns to L.A. as part of a three-city affair that draws attendees from all over the world. SF Weekly says, "Think Vintage Fetish meets circus theatrics meets industrial arts mayhem." This unique, steampunk-influenced extravaganza merges gothic intrigue, live music, fashion, cosplay, theatre, circus, fine art, an absinthe bar, fascinating stage shows, ballroom dancing, science fiction and DJs into a whirlwind cultural adventure. Come to Downtown Los Angeles' elegant Globe Theatre to experience this evening intermingling gentility with decadence.
