Vienna in Black
October 24-28, 2012
The international leather and fetish meeting in Vienna does not just offer the obligatory leather and fetish party but a whole range of events. From dinner to leather brunch, bike tour and much more. Which weekend could be more appropriate for this event than the weekend closest to the Austrian National Holiday (26 October) when the Austrian military parades on Heldenplatz. www.lmc-vienna.at
Rainbow Ball
February 2, 2013
Whoever said that Viennese Waltzes are only for straight people? The Rainbow Ball successfully conquered this heterosexual domain. Formal evening attire is strictly enforced at this gay and lesbian ballroom event. The ball is held in Parkhotel Schönbrunn. All waltzes and lots of fun! www.regenbogenball.at
Kreativball 2013
February 1 & 2, 2013
The Kreativball has come a long way since its low-profile beginnings. Now it is a must in Vienna's annual queer ball season. You have to be quick these days because this event for gays and lesbians and their friends sells out weeks in advance. www.clubkreativ.at
Rosenball

Experience the fabulous event at the beautiful Palais Auersperg. The Rosenball is a distinguished counterpart of the Viennese Opernball with an unique mixture of the audience.

Life Ball
May 2013
The star-studded AIDS-charity event is the most spectacular queer party in Europe and it raises close to a million euros each year for HIV projects. From Federal Chancellor to Hollywood star, they all come to watch the fashion show by one of the world’s super-designers on City Hall Square and to dance the night away. Tickets for the Life Ball are as precious as gold, but the fashion show is free for everyone.
