THE FEST in summer - THE BALL in winter
On November 8, 2025, the Karlsruhe Congress Center will become the stage for a new social highlight: THE BALL. Each time under a new motto - in 2025 we celebrate 200 years of KIT
What was missing for many years - a stylish evening that brings people together - is returning. Not as a copy of times gone by, but as a format that combines classicism and zeitgeist.
DER BALL creates space for dance, encounters and special moments - and establishes a new tradition in the heart of the city.
Celebrate with us!
The city of Karlsruhe and Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre, KIT, Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe, the TechnologyRegion and event specialist u-motions have created DER BALL to give the region a special space - for encounters, movement and new impulses.
An evening full of possibilities: for dancing, laughing, enjoying, meeting again and getting to know each other. A place where you can show yourself. And that shows what connects the region. More than just an event.
Two halls - one experience
This is where the music plays - in the truest sense of the word. An orchestra, a band, rhythmic beats. Professional dancers from "Let's Dance", variety acts, world champions, celebrities - and right in the middle of it all: you.
Whether waltz or disco fox, breathtaking artistry or a quiet moment at the bar - THE BALL thrives on movement, encounters and the feeling of being there.
Sometimes classical, sometimes rhythmic, sometimes very quiet:
DER BALL is the parquet of the region - and an evening to remember.
Look forward to a glamorous evening with music, dancing and a festive atmosphere - a magical atmosphere for unforgettable moments.
