The question asked most often about our Harvest Ball?

What do I wear?
I’ll work my way up.
Start with dancing 👞 (probably not 👠).
Then, ankle length is recommended. Those floor length pants, skirts? You may step on ‘em.

Knee length is fine!
We don’t see frequent denim amongst our dancers; but it is welcomed! western styles are always present and welcome.

If you look closely you’ll see modern formal/semi formal ladies gowns, men’s modern suits with vest, plus the 1860s attire that is so distinctive.

A shawl or jacket will keep the lakeshore evening chill at bay as you leave.

We adore hats 🎩 👒 ; though they may be worn only during our Grand March and Finale.

3 rehearsals until we will see you at Racine’s Memorial Hall on the Lake Michigan shore.
Wonder what to wear? Every year, we see a 1800s costuming, modern dress, renaissance faire styles, and more. We admit, costumes stand out more in our photos!
If you’ve attended, post a pic!
