On November 2nd, 2018, Boston will host its fabulous masquerade ball with this year’s theme “Sposalizio del Mare – Marriage to the Sea”. This theme is based on a tradition begun in 1177, when the doge of Venice tossed a consecrated ring into the sea declaring that Venice and the sea to be indissolubly one. This sure-to-sell-out event will bring together 250 of Boston’s most glamorous, international, and art-loving supporters to revel in the spirit of Venetian Carnevale in black tie and artfully decorated masks designed to match the aquatic theme of the evening.
