Even if the ball season still seems a long way off in midsummer, preparations are already underway for the next Styrian Ball on 10 January 2025, when thousands of ball guests will once again dance in the Hofburg Palace in Vienna in their traditional costumes.

"To ensure that we can once again experience a glittering Styrian ball night at the Hofburg in January 2025, we are already starting the initial preparations. We are delighted that Eastern Styria will be our host region this time," says Andreas Zakostelsky, Chairman of the Association of Styrians in Vienna. This stretches from Alpl via Joglland, Styrian Wechselland, Hartberger Land, the Gleisdorf region, Stubenbergsee, Apfelland and the Styrian Apple Route - which will also be celebrating its 40th anniversary - via Almenland to the Weiz region.

"Krone" is a partner again
"The diversity of our region can be experienced at the Styrian Ball," says Kathrin Großschedl, Deputy Chairwoman of the Eastern Styria Tourist Board. The "Krone" is once again involved as a partner: "Styrian Ball - a highlight! The best sides of both countries come together in a festive atmosphere," says editor-in-chief Klaus Herrmann.
