Queen Charlotte's Birthday Ball (2015)

Sat. Jan. 17, 1 to 10:30 pm 
This annual event features an illustrated talk by Dr. Larry Ostola, director of Museum and Heritage Services with the City of Toronto. The theme is the Treaty of Ghent and the promise of peace after the War of 1812.
Queen Charlotte's Birthday Ball celebrates a significant moment in Toronto history: a ball offered by officers of the Garrison at York (Fort York) on 23 January 1817. Our event is a costumed ball which recreates an early 19th century social gathering. It includes instruction in period dance, an extensively researched and authentically prepared Georgian dinner representing the culinary history of early 19th century Toronto, and concludes with an evening of English country dancing. Costumes welcome.
