Rainbow Ball Vienna 2016

The Wiener Regenbogenball (Viennese Rainbow Ball) is the number one ball for LGBTI people and their friends. On January 30, 2016 it will take place for the 19^th time.

The Regenbogenball is not only one of the most successful balls in Austria, it has also established a reputation for being the ball-season’s highlight for the gay, lesbian, and transgender community. It is a classical Viennese ball, in line with the city’s long dancing tradition. At the same time, however, it is an important manifestation of the modern spirit of gay and lesbian culture, celebrated by LGBT people and straight guests alike.

Last but not least, it is a major fund-raising event. The profits support the work of HOSI Wien (Homosexual Initiative Vienna), which is Austria’s largest gay and lesbian organisation. Its projects range from the “peerconnexion“ (an educational program to inform about homosexuality in schools) to the “Regenbogenparade“ (Rainbow Parade, Vienna’s gay pride parade).

Be part of it when once again the dance floor is opened with the famous words “Alles Walzer!“ (Everybody waltz!)

HOSI Wien was founded in 1979. We are Austria’s oldest and most important lesbian and gay organisation. One of our many tasks is political lobbying. Our advocacy activities are targeted towards government ministers, members of Parliament and other politicians as well as political parties and authorities, the media and the public in general to promote the causes of gays and lesbians.

Since 2010 our headquarter is located at Heumühlgasse 14 in Vienna’s 4th district.

We also offer gays and lesbians, especially young ones, support during their coming-out proces, and in cases of discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation. Our community centre is also a point of contact for all kind of information regarding homosexuality.
