The Fezziwig Ball

Step through the doors to SkyView Ballroom Downtown (121 Hay Street) and into the merriest evening of the season. Fezziwig’s Ball brings the sparkle and warmth of a Victorian holiday gathering—graceful circles, and laughing lines of dancers—guided by Dancemaster Jeremy Gershman and set to the spirited music of the era. It’s the kind of festive scene young Charles Dickens himself would have recognized: bright, bustling, and brimming with good cheer.
