CANCELLED: Grande Masque - Orlando's Black-Tie Event for the Performing Arts

NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR 2008

Leave the everyday world behind for this extraordinary holiday event. Held at the luxurious Gaylord Palms Resort, Grande Masque is a black-tie, masked ball to support the Orlando arts community. 

This award winning New Year's Eve Gala will feature performances from three of the largest professional performing arts organizations in Central Florida: Orlando Ballet, Orlando Opera Company, and Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra.

Tickets start at $400 per person, and includes a full open bar, gourmet dining, entertainment by the host organizations, party favors and a champagne toast, silent auction and brief live auction.

Corporate tables are also available, and are a great way to support three arts groups with one donation.

ChristmasInOrlando.com Tips:

This is Orlando's "see-and-be-seen" New Year's Eve event.  Expect to rub elbows with the "movers and shakers" of the town's polical and cultural arts communities.

Special overnight packages are available at Gaylord Palms Resort.  Reserve early, as the resort historically sells out on New Year's Eve.

For those who have kids, a special La Petite Masque is held by the on-site La Petite Academy Kids Station.

To help prepare for the event, make an appointment at the Salon at Canyon Ranch SpaClub. It is located inside Gaylord Palms Resort.

A special New Year's Day brunch at Gaylord Palms is especially popular for the post-Grande Masque crowd.
