About the Summer Ball

The Vienna Summer Ball in Kittsee is a festive evening that combines Vienna’s ballroom tradition with a modern style in an elegant setting. With classical music, a celebratory atmosphere, stylish attire, and lovingly maintained rituals, it creates a special experience year after year—bringing the splendour of traditional balls to life again in a way that is authentic, high-quality, and contemporary.

At its heart is the idea of overcoming borders and creating meaningful encounters: the Summer Ball sees itself as a cross-border cultural event that brings people from Austria and Slovakia together. Kittsee—located right at the border—is the ideal venue for this. The ball thus becomes a stage for lived neighbourliness, cultural exchange, and shared celebration, where the music, cuisine, and traditions of both countries come together in harmony.

A special emphasis is placed on regional quality and hospitality: local specialities, carefully selected partners, and a cohesive overall programme ensure enjoyment and atmosphere—from the reception to the final dance.

The Vienna Summer Ball is organised by the “Association for the Promotion of Cross-Border Cultural Events,” founded specifically for this purpose, which successfully delivers the event with great dedication and professionalism. The association’s aim is to build cultural bridges, preserve traditions, and provide new impulses for vibrant coexistence in the border region—with a ball that doesn’t just celebrate, but connects.
