A holiday tradition for 59 years, the Barber Christmas Ball is a festive gala that features live music, delicious food, and spectacular decorations in a beautiful setting on Erie's bayfront. Plan now to celebrate with friends, family, and neighbors to ring in the holiday season for a great cause. Continuous music from Stiletto Fire, a dance and show band from Detroit, Michigan, and entertainment by Tony B. Doors open 7 p.m. Guests will enjoy heavy hors d'oeuvres, tasty desserts, soft drinks and two cocktails per person (cash bar also available). Complimentary valet parking. Reservations are $95 per person. Proceeds from the Christmas Ball will go toward the $3 million renovation of the multi-use pool that provides therapy and recreation for children and adults at the Barber National Institute. The Barber Christmas Ball is a community event open to all! You do not need a formal invitation to attend, but if you would like to receive one, please send your name and address to events@barberni.org. Special overnight packages are available for Christmas Ball guests. Contact the Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel at 814-454-2005 by Dec. 1 for reservations.
