Hats Off For Veterans' Harry Potter Enchanted Yule Ball in October...

Hats Off For Veterans presents the third edition of an Enchanted Yule Ball for adults, inspired by the famed celebration from the Harry Potter series. Tejas Hall at Texas Old Town transforms into a festive ballroom where the community supports Texas veterans with an evening of music and dancing, a magic show, themed refreshments, and prize-winning games and activities. Guests can pose for photos with the blue Ford Anglia seen in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a highlight of the night. Attire ranges from classic formalwear and sweeping ball gowns to wizarding-inspired looks, and a costume contest will recognize the most imaginative ensembles. The celebration benefits Hats Off For Veterans and its initiatives that provide higher education scholarships, professional development support, and mental health resources for Texas veterans and their families. Sponsorship opportunities are available, and discounts are offered for veterans and nonprofit organizations.
