Join us for a night of fun and fantasy, at The Crystal Ball, a formal event at the world famous Georgia Aquarium Oceans Ballroom on February 25th, 2017 at 7pm!

The night will be alive with hosts of costumed fairies and fae in their best formal attire, framed by the gentle creatures of the deep from all sides, dancing the evening away to orchestral favorites and some secret gems. Each woodland faun and goblin king will be dining on heirloom greens with the cursed blood oranges, toasted pecans, and roquefort, the finest of stewed ovine (or braised short ribs) or vegetarian option for our elven friends, finished with the legendary lemon souffle tart, which opens it's delicate pastry only once every thousand years for a chosen few.



For the dwarves of the party, a cash bar is available for the evening with brew, ale, wine, and assorted cocktails. The night will come alive with the orchestral stylings of the most popular of entertainment, including ballroom arrangements from The Lord of the Rings, Final Fantasy, Harry Potter, The Legend of Zelda, Miyazaki movies, and many many more, with a full dance floor on which to take your favorite necromancer or lamia for a swinging good time!



Hop on your hippogriff and take the nearest exit to the Crystal Ball, presented by the lords and ladies of Dragon Con and MomoCon!

CRYSTAL BALL FAQ

Why does the event have a specific dress code? We are hosting a fully formal event, and wish to create a formal atmosphere. If you wish to attend our regular semi-formal affairs in semi-formal dress, please wait for the next event!

Can I request songs? We at this time will not be taking non-ballroom style song requests. If you have a recommendation of the appropriate nature of the ballroom/orchestra variety, feel free to email us at info@momocon.com

I would like to help out at the event! Unfortunately our volunteer spots are all taken. We give preference to those who have volunteered for dances in the past, and the demand for this event was very high.

Will this event have full Aquarium access? Attendees at the Crystal Ball will have private viewing access via large windows to the whale shark tank and Beluga whale tank, the remainder of the Aquarium will not be open for attendees.
