We invite you to join us Thursday, November 19th at Ballroom Marfa’s 2026 Gala, an enchanting evening surrounded by food, art, music, and surprises in the Ballroom Marfa spirit at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. With delight and gratitude, we will honor Pulitzer Prize-winning wartime photographer and photojournalist Lynsey Addario, singer-songwriter Lyle Lovett, and visionary leader and Ballroom Board Member Anne‑Cecilie Engell Speyer. The gala will feature an auction and performances by Eloise Carter, the Marching Cobras Drumline & Danceline, Pavel Kolesnikov & Samson Tsoy, and special musical guests.

We hope you will join us in celebrating Ballroom Marfa.
