After a successful first event, The Cartoon Network Kiki Ball comes back for a second edition!  But the question is are you ready?

Who will be the house with the most trophies ?

Who will be bringing their best effect ?

Balls are fashion, dance and beauty competitions where performers battle for a trophy.

Each of them will be then judged by local and international names who excelled in their categories. This is a space open to curious people and non-connaisseurs, as in every space we ask attendees to respect the space and the people competing in it.

This event is organized by Matyouz ( Kiki House of Royalty),  Esengo ( Kiki House of Angels ) and Ballroom Basel.

-----

Ballroom is a safer space for many marginalized people. We do not accept and hold each other accountable for any form of racism, cultural appropriation, antisemitism, homo-, trans- or queerphobia, ableism, fatphobia and or any other form of discrimination.

If you need help or witness something you'd like to report, approach the awareness team in the yellow vests or the host.

We do take pictures and videos. If you don't want your picture or video taken, approach the host or the awareness team.
