Across two hours, Harry Potter: A Yule Ball Celebration features spellbinding performances, charismatic hosts and themed treats. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed into their preferred Hogwarts house to join fellow attendees in testing their spell-casting skills and uncovering enchanting surprises throughout the night. Guiding the festivities from start to finish are two Masters of Ceremony, alongside four spirited Hogwarts House Representatives who will cheer on their members throughout the show.
The evening kicks off with welcome dances and introductions, followed by hors d’oeuvres and photo opportunities. A key highlight of the night is the Champions Waltz, one of the signature moments from Harry Potter: A Yule Ball Celebration, which invites attendees to learn the choreography and join a festive group dance inspired by the grandeur of the original ball. Afterwards, guests can show off their best moves or cheer from the sidelines during a lively dance-off competition.

For a limited season, The Space at Solaire is transformed into a magnificent winter ballroom. The venue will be reminiscent of the Great Hall, complete with elegant silver drapery, towering Christmas trees and bespoke scenic installations, all set to music adapted from the original film soundtrack.
