Spend an evening in the presence of the king of the goblins at The Goblin King Masquerade Ball...
The 2023 Ball was a HUGE success, so we're hosting the next one over two nights: January 12 & 13, 2024.
Turner Hall Ballroom (Milwaukee, WI) will be transformed into a dreamworld full of fantasy and magic for revelers to immerse themselves in. Guests can enjoy a waltz dance class, cocktails/mocktails, special performances from The Goblin King Players, a curated vendors alley, exclusive photo ops, and more.
Guests must be 18+. Formal attire/cosplay recommended. Casual clothing will not be admitted (unless part of a very specific cosplay. There's 1 from the film that would work).
Awkward Nerd Events’ January Ball has always been a popular opportunity to get together with friends, dress elegantly, and de-stress from the holiday rigamarole. Don't miss your opportunity for the hottest ticket in town!
