Now in its 23rd year, the 2026 Avalon Ball is a fantastic journey into the past when Big Bands played for huge audiences which were broadcast to the nation in the Art Deco Casino Ballroom built in 1929 and located in the city of Avalon on Catalina Island. This magical night features an evening of dancing to music from the 1920s and the 1930s. Immerse yourself in glorious Deco opulence gliding across the 10,000 square foot dance floor surrounded by romantic ocean views. Tickets go on sale on December 6, 2025.

Guests at the Avalon Ball have the option of purchasing a standard dining room style table or a cocktail table at the event. These are in limited supply. If you purchase a table, you and all of your guests also need a ticket to the event.

Join your fellow Deco-philes for a leisurely afternoon of socializing, cocktails, dancing and reminiscing about last night’s Avalon Ball. At the historic Catalina Country Club.
