Jaegerball
The traditional Jägerball – Ball vom Grünen Kreuz is held every year on the last Monday in January at the Hofburg and the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. With around 5,000 guests, the Jägerball is one of Vienna’s most popular dance events. In the many halls, ballgoers take to the floor—and continue their late-night hunt into the early hours for something new, beloved classics, and countless highlights.
