Midwinter Ball 2021

41st Annual Midwinter Ball

Mark Your Calendars: The 41st Annual Midwinter Ball will be held on Saturday, February 6, 2021.

Although we are unable to gather together in-person this year, we can still connect as a community to celebrate this long-standing campus tradition.

Join us at 8:00 p.m. CT for a welcome and then gather your pod as student DJs entertain you and SAPB hosts live karaoke via Zoom; you'll be able to move between spaces throughout the event.

The night will feature a special MWB featurette of pre-recorded greetings from members of Salsa del Soul and Roseville Big Band, who have performed at Midwinter Ball for many years.

Finally, the night will end with an ~e x c l u s i v e~, pre-recorded performance from iLLism, a Minneapolis-based music group.

Semi-formal attire is requested. Dress to impress and send your Midwinter Ball looks to sao@carleton.edu - you could be featured on our Insta Stories!
