The Vienna Comic Con celebrates its 10th anniversary with a special event: The Vienna Comic Con Ball returns in collaboration with CD Projekt Red. On November 21, the Imperial Riding School will transform under the theme "The Novigrad Masquerade Ball" into a mix of cosplay, couture, and Viennese ball tradition, inspired by The Witcher 3.

The Vienna Comic Con Ball is not a traditional ball, but the creative start of the anniversary convention: Cosplayers meet ball culture, medieval live music meets modern DJ sets from Radio Energy, show acts merge with gaming atmosphere. Witcher photo points, a raffle, and well-known guests from culture and entertainment make the evening an unforgettable experience. "With the The Witcher focus, we want to inspire fans, artists, and cosplayers alike, and show that pop culture in Vienna is not only lived but also celebrated," say Patrick Krippner & Chang Xue, organizers of the Vienna Comic Con. 

Vienna Comic Con: Novigrad Masquerade Ball with Fantasy, Beats & Ball Culture

On November 21, the Imperial Riding School in Vienna becomes the venue for the Vienna Comic Con Ball – the Novigrad Masquerade Ball. The historical setting inspired by the world of Witcher Geralt of Rivia and Ciri forms the backdrop for a ball concept that combines cosplay power with Viennese tradition. Guests can expect a program full of highlights: epic live sounds with a medieval flair, spectacular show acts, captivating DJ sets, Witcher photo spots for the perfect cosplay photo, and a raffle with collector's value. The evening is hosted by Laura Peters, who will also moderate the Vienna Comic Con, musically accompanied by Die Schandgesellen. And when celebrities from entertainment, culture & scene take the dance floor with cosplayers, it becomes clear: This is not a classic ball, this is pop culture in waltz time.
