Masquerade Ball
GBLA’s Masquerade Ball returns with a Royal Court Experience featuring an open bar, catered food, live DJ, luxury vibes & networking.
The Greater Baltimore Leadership Association (GBLA) proudly presents the return of one of its most iconic and anticipated experiences — the 2026 Masquerade Ball: Royal Court Experience.
As the original organization in Baltimore to host a Masquerade Ball for young professionals, GBLA is bringing this signature marquee event back in an elevated way, reintroducing a legacy experience centered on culture, connection, elegance, and impact. This year’s Royal Court Experience theme will transform the evening into a luxury celebration designed for Baltimore’s rising leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and changemakers.
As always, GBLA is intentional about supporting Black-owned businesses and creating opportunities within our community. This year’s experience will feature Baltimore’s own Elevated Event Center as our venue partner, music by DJ5Starr, catering by Emmanuella’s Cuisine, and photography by Steve Hopkins.
This is a night for Black excellence. Come dressed to express. Guests will make a grand runway-style entrance where individuals and friend groups will have professional photos captured upon arrival, creating a true red-carpet experience from the moment you walk in.
Your ticket includes access to:
- Premium Open Bar 🍸
- Curated Food & Catering from Emmanuella’s Cuisine 🍽️
- Live DJ Entertainment 🎶
- An Elevated Networking & Social Experience 🎭
More than just a celebration, the Masquerade Ball is also a fundraising initiative supporting the work of the Greater Baltimore Urban League. Proceeds from the event help advance programs and initiatives focused on workforce development, economic empowerment, education, youth development, public health, leadership development, and community advocacy throughout Greater Baltimore. By attending, guests are not only participating in an unforgettable experience — they are directly contributing to impactful work that strengthens and uplifts our community.
