The ball season is an 18th Century tradition in Vienna. 450 balls were scheduled this year from November until Ash Wednesday.
The Wiener Akademikerball was held on Friday night at the Imperial Castle. This event is one of the most lovely and beautiful political gatherings in the civilized world.

This year, I had the splendid honor of being invited to the Wiener Akademikerball in Vienna, Austria.
The luxurious Wiener Akademikerball was held on Friday night in Vienna at the Vienna Hofburg also known as the Imperial Castle. The sprawling grounds that covers 24 hectares was once the residence of the Habsburgs family. 5,000 people live or work on the grounds of the Imperial Castle.

The Wiener Akademikerball has taken place annually since 2013 and is organized by the Freedom Party of Austria, a populist, right-wing party frequently smeared by the globalist mainstream media in Europe.

The Wiener Akademikerball is the second-largest ball of the season. I must admit I did not know it was linked to any political party until halfway through the evening.
Like many balls, the Academy Ball starts officially at 8 PM and goes until 4 AM, although many leave the party earlier.
FPO-TV put together a beautiful video presentation from the ball on Friday night. It was breathtaking!
Apparently, there were protesters outside but I did not see any coming or going and I walked a half-mile to get there.
The Wiener Akademikerball is the most majestic and regal annual conservative celebration anywhere in the world.
Here is video I took from the Imperial Palace on Friday night.
