When the doors of the Hofburg open on January 31, 2026 for the 74th edition of the Vienna Medical Doctors' Ball, the stage will once again be set for a night of joie de vivre and humanity. Under the motto “A dance for life - a charity night for the CliniClowns”, the Hofburg will be transformed into a circus full of fantasy and joy - all in the name of those who heal with humor every day: the CliniClowns. As every year, the 74th Doctors' Ball also focuses on charity. The net proceeds benefit the work of the CliniClowns, who bring laughter to hospitals, care homes and psychosocial institutions where it is needed most.

An evening full of elegance, music, and heartfelt solidarity: At the 73rd Vienna Medical Doctors’ Ball held at the Hofburg Palace, a new record sum of €118,000 was raised for a good cause. The net proceeds from the sold-out event benefit the WE&ME Foundation, which supports people living with ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).

Spring officially begins on 20 March - and what could be more fitting than the anticipation of one of Vienna's most beautiful balls? As always, we have the secret recipe to keep the spring fever alive until 31 January 2026: Be part of our opening committee and dress up in a festive white ball gown, tailcoat, or dinner jacket in one of the most historic and beautiful ballrooms in the world, creating memories that will last forever.

What an unforgettable evening in the magnificent Hofburg! The 73rd Vienna Doctors' Ball was once again a real highlight of the Viennese ball season - and completely sold out with around 3,800 guests from politics, science and society. From the rousing midnight interlude with DelaDap to the legendary audience quadrille - the ball offered unforgettable moments. But the real highlight? Dancing for a good cause! The net proceeds will go to the WE&ME Foundation, which is dedicated to research and the fight against ME/CFS.

In just a few days, the Vienna Medical Doctors' Ball will once again open its doors in the magnificent Hofburg Palace in Vienna.
