The Sedona International Film Festival invites guests to step into a night of mystery, elegance and music at the Enchanted Autumn Masquerade Ball — an exclusive gala event celebrating the festival’s 32nd anniversary. The celebration will take place on Monday, Oct. 27 at the breathtaking Enchantment Resort.
Set against the majestic red rocks and the golden hues of fall, this elegant masquerade ball promises an unforgettable evening of enchantment, featuring exquisite dining, live entertainment, dancing and some special surprises. Guests are encouraged to don their most dazzling masks and evening attire for a night where mystery and glamour take center stage.
The Enchanted Autumn Masquerade Ball is a benefit for the Sedona International Film Festival, a beloved cultural institution that has brought world-class independent films, documentaries, and filmmaker conversations to the community for over three decades.
“After 32 years of celebrating the art of storytelling through film, we’re excited to mark this milestone with a magical evening that brings together our supporters and our film festival community,” said Patrick Schweiss, Director of the Sedona International Film Festival. “This masquerade is more than a celebration—it’s a way to support the festival’s mission and ensure its future.”
The evening will feature spectacular music and dancing by The Swingtips, along with a live auction, raffle, a decadent dinner and much more!
Everyone who has ever seen The Swingtips perform knows how much fun it is to be a part of the band's live, interactive shows. Since 1996, audiences of all ages have found themselves laughing, singing, dancing, and even performing on stage with the band in the tradition of Vaudeville’s golden age of variety entertainment with a modern twist. The Swingtips have been included on numerous national and international recordings/CD compilations alongside legendary artists: Ella Fitzgerald, B.B. King, Louie Prima, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Paul Simon, Garrison Keeler, Louis Armstrong, Lena Horne, Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters. These swingin' cats have performed over the years with such greats as Michael Bublé, Bobby Vinton, Wayne Newton, Glenn Miller and others. Their music will keep you tapping your feet and dancing all night long!
Join us for an evening of elegance, seasonal splendor, fine dining, and autumn enchantment — all in support of one of Arizona’s premier film festivals.
The event begins at 4:30 p.m. with a special reception and some surprises. Dinner and the evening’s festivities will follow. Evening attire and masks are encouraged.
Space is limited for this very special event on Monday, Oct. 27. Tickets for the Enchanted Autumn Masquerade Ball are $175 per person, or $165 for Film Festival members. Tables of 10 are available.
