18th April

Step back into a world of jazz, glamour, and indulgence as Palazzo Parisio invites you to The Prohibition Ball — an immersive charity event inspired by the electric party scene of the 1920s and 1930s.

Following the resounding success of last year’s Diamond Ball, this promises to be another unforgettable night of elegance, entertainment, and giving back.

A Proven Night of Purpose

Last year’s Diamond Ball was not only a sparkling social highlight, but a meaningful charitable achievement. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our guests — and the extraordinary collaboration of a team of professionals who donated their services entirely free of charge — every cent raised from ticket sales was donated.

The result?€17,125 proudly contributed to the FIDEM Foundation.

This achievement laid the foundation for something bigger: a charity ball hosted at Palazzo Parisio every year, blending grandeur with generosity.

A Night Hosted with Heart

The Prohibition Ball is organised in collaboration with Sarah Young and driven by the vision of Baroness Justine Pergola, who is passionate about giving back to society — and equally passionate about a fabulous dress-up party. Judging by last year’s turnout, she is very much not alone.

This year’s proceeds will be donated to animal rescue centres across Malta, supporting organisations that work tirelessly to protect and care for animals in need.

The Prohibition Era: Glamour After Dark

The theme draws inspiration from the Roaring Twenties and early Thirties, an era defined by jazz music, underground speakeasies, and lavish parties held behind closed doors. While prohibition ruled the law books, nightlife flourished in secret — fuelled by music, dance, and unapologetic glamour.

On the night, expect:

Top-tier live entertainment
Bands and Charleston dance classes
Fabulous raffle prizes
Immersive themed fun throughout the palace

This is not just a ball — it’s a fully transported experience.

Dress to Impress

This is a strictly dress-up event.

Patrons will be refused entry if not dressed according to theme.

The good news? Prohibition-era style is effortlessly achievable:

Ladies: Think flapper glamour — feathers, fringe, pearls, headpieces, and sparkle.
Gentlemen: Classic suits, waistcoats, or DJs complete the look perfectly.

It’s all about attitude, elegance, and having fun with the era.
