On April 5, 2025, the Vienna town hall again turns into a ballroom for a connecting festival of cultures: The integration house again invites you to send a sign of humanity and solidarity together with a lavish festival. For over three decades, the Viennese refugee ball has been inspiring around 3,000 festivals annually with a diverse program. Ball organizer Nikolaus Heinelt is particularly proud of the upcoming refugee ball: “The ball is not only a place of encounter and celebration, but also a strong symbol of cohesion and commitment. In this sense, the Willi Resetarits Award for the second time is awarded to an outstanding social commitment.” In addition to musical enjoyment, guests also expect a culinary world tour and a raffle at exciting prices. Tickets are now available.
