Life Ball

Life Ball supports organizations and projects in the most affected regions around the world and contributes to remove the taboos of AIDS in our society. Life Ball sends out a strong statement in the fight against HIV and AIDS through celebrating life and the diversity of cultures – resounding far across the borders of Austria every year. This party is one of the biggest social events in Europe, and it is a lavish affair. A-list famous names attend--Charlize Theron attended in 2018--and the organization flies in drag queens from around the world to add some panache. The 2019 theme is "Walking on the yellow brick road towards an end to AIDS," so get your Dorothy and Glinda drag ready, because the "Wizard of Oz" realness will be sickening. On the occasion of the 50th year anniversary of Stonewall, Life Ball will kick off EuroPride, which is in Vienna for 2019.
