Description

The Prohibition Era: Glamour After Dark

The Prohibition Ball is organised in collaboration with Sarah Young and driven by the vision of Baroness Justine Pergola, who is passionate about giving back to society — and equally passionate about a fabulous dress-up party. Judging by last year’s turnout at The Diamond Ball, she is very much not alone. The theme draws inspiration from the Roaring Twenties and early Thirties, an era defined by jazz music, underground speakeasies, and lavish parties held behind closed doors. While prohibition ruled the law books, nightlife flourished in secret — fuelled by music, dance, and unapologetic glamour.

On the night, expect:

Top-tier live entertainment
Open bar and gourmet canapés all night long
Bands and era-specific dancers
Fabulous raffle prizes
Immersive themed fun throughout the palace

This is not just a ball — it’s a fully transported experience.

This year’s proceeds will be donated to MSPCA, to support their tireless work to protect and care for animals in need.

Dress to Impress

This is a strictly dress-up event.

Patrons will be refused entry if not dressed according to theme.

The good news? Prohibition-era style is effortlessly achievable:

Ladies: Think flapper glamour — feathers, fringe, pearls, headpieces, and sparkle.
Gentlemen: Classic suits, waistcoats, or DJs complete the look perfectly.

It’s all about attitude, elegance, and having fun with the era.

To enter the Prohibition Ball, guests are invited to wear a small “animal” as their password for the evening. This can be anything inspired by the animal kingdom — a brooch, cufflinks, feathers, a motif, or any playful detail incorporated into your outfit. The idea draws inspiration from the 1920s, when entry to illicit parties was often granted through subtle signals or passwords known only to invited guests. It is also a nod to the evening’s charitable cause, as the event supports the MSPCA and the important work they do for animal welfare in Malta. Show us your animal and step inside for a night of mischief and glamour. 🥂🐾
