Since its humble beginnings in 1991, Auburn 's Black & White Ball has grown from a local fundraising street party to a regional destination and premier outdoor event. Always exciting, the Ball features multiple entertainment venues as well as complimentary samples from some of the area's most popular caterers and restaurants.  Showcasing Auburn, the Ball is poised to become one of Northern California's signature one-day, open-air events; a brilliant and magical evening under the stars, where our guests arrive in theme attire or, as our motto says, “Black & White – Wear What You Like!”

 Now in its 17th year, Auburn's Black & White Ball boasts a reputation for its larger-than-life atmosphere much as you'd expect to find at such magical spots as Disneyland ™  Featuring magical decorations, fantastic entertainment and an ambiance unequalled in any auditorium, the party under the stars is "the place to be" every third Saturday in August.  4 venues will provide non-stop options for you all night long, and there will be food courts and beverage stations throughout the Ball - all located on the city streets of Downtown Auburn!

 The Ball attracts a multitude of affluent, savvy and active adults.  Our marketing efforts target over 8000 party-goers with active lifestyles who have an insatiable appetite for living the good life.  Auburn 's Black & White Ball is a wonderful evening that includes magical decorations and enchanting entertainment under the stars. 

  This year’s entertainment lineup includes:  Tainted Love – “Dance Hits of the 80’s”, ensures a time warp through a wide range of totally radical  '80's keepsakes, including tight vinyl clothing, sleeveless shirts and even ultra-zippered leather jackets!  With high-energy singers  driven by a powerhouse band, Tainted Love delivers a non-stop 80's live show with irresistible charisma.    

David Martin's House Party - No matter what kind of music you want from whatever  year - with a 500+ song list, DMHP can and will play the music you love!  One of San Francisco ’s premier party bands for over 20 years, this “interactive” eleven piece all-star group has gained a national reputation for their high energy performances, incredible musical variety, and “anything can happen” hi-jinx.  

For the first time ever, Auburn's Black & White Ball will feature a country stage - and we're going all out this year by bringing you a country rock supergroup that has sold 7 million albums - Little Texas will be rockin' the house with 2 shows!!! You won't want to miss this. With hits including "God Blessed Texas", "Kick A Little", "Amy's Back In Austin", and "What Might Have Been", this is not your grandma's country music - this is "kickin' country music"...

Music will play simultaneously on all  stages throughout the night, so be sure to bring plenty of resuscitation equipment!

IN past years we've brought you "The Cotton Club", or "The Casino Royale"  - a place to sit and relax, enjoy top-shelf liquors and premium wines and beers, desserts and coffee.  This year it will be located on upper Lincoln Way, and will be "The Silver Screen Lounge", where silent movies will be playing on a giant wide screen right there on the street. 

Over forty restaurants will be serving memorable edibles amid food courts and decorations themed for Hollywood's  elegance, sophistication, and extravagance. Enjoy savory treats at the various food courts found throughout the Ball.  Raley's will be serving their fine tri-tip near the lovely Avantgarden storefront on High Street.  Thunder Valley Casino will be featuring food from all their fine restaurants on Lincoln Way, below the Clocktower.  And ... desserts and coffee will be served in The Silver Screen Lounge from 9pm to 1:30am for you late-nighters! 

Tickets are priced at $70, with a $10 discount voucher available through participating Raley’s & Bel Air stores.

 Associated events include the Black & White Ball Golf Classic on August 15th For additional information, please go to the Supporting Events page on this website, or contact the Auburn Chamber of Commerce at (800) 971-1888 X. 4.
