Join us on Friday, October 23rd at The Knoxville Botanical Gardens for an unforgettable evening of food, drinks, music, dancing, giant puppets, and illuminated surprises. The Ball is Cattywampus’s biggest fundraiser of the year and all of the proceeds will directly support our 2027 programming, bringing innovative, free community-based art to Knoxville and beyond.
This year's Fall Ball theme is GLOW. Think moonlight, fireflies, bioluminescent fungi, stardust, glitter and anything that shimmers, sparkles, or shines. We're inviting you to dress up silly, fancy, or in whatever attire helps you embody the most radiant version of you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Food & Drinks from amazing local restaurants like Tarik's, Potchke, Otsu, Humble Hog & many more
Live Music from the Knox Honkers & Bangers community marching band
A Vinyl Dance Party with DJ Captain Ed
A Silent Auction with one-of-a-kind items (rumor has it there will be a signed copy of Willi Carlisle’s new album and perhaps even a Wayne White original up for grabs)
Giant Puppet Performances throughout the night...and so much more!
Buy your tickets and help us keep the giant puppet magic and community art alive here!
