The Beaux Arts Ball is Back!

For two decades, the DesignPhiladelphia Festival has been a beacon of creativity, innovation, and community spirit, showcasing the vibrant design scene that makes our city unique. This year, we’re pulling out all the stops to celebrate our 20th anniversary, and we invite you to be part of this milestone occasion.

On November 2, 2024, join us at the historic Lynnewood Hall Estate in Elkins Park—the Trumbauer-designed Widener Family estate, a true architectural masterpiece. Currently in the early stages of a meticulous restoration to its former breathtaking glory, this Gilded Age mansion provides the perfect backdrop for the evening.
 

Theme: "All that is Gilded, is not Gold"

Dress Code: Black Tie | Creative Attire | Costumes Encouraged

The evening will feature:

• Immersive art installations
• Live performances
• A gathering of Philadelphia’s creative community to honor the past, present, and future
