Step into the world of Charles Dickens and celebrate the joy, music, and laughter of the season at the Fezziwig Ball — a holiday costume ball inspired by the merriest scene in A Christmas Carol.
Led by Dancemaster Jeremy Gershman and the Cape Fear Heritage Dance Club, guests will enjoy live-called Victorian dances such as College Hornpipe, La Coquette, and the beloved finale Sir Roger de Coverly. No dance experience required — every step is taught, and every smile welcomed.
Come dressed in festive or Victorian attire, share light refreshments, and waltz through an evening of cheer and community. The Fezziwig Ball is less a performance than an invitation — to dance, to laugh, and to feel the generosity of Fezziwig’s hearth brought to life once again.
