Following last year’s unforgettable debut, The Winter Ball is set to return for its second year on Thursday, 20th February 2026 at the elegant Faithlegg House Hotel. Hosted by Juniors for Juniors, this annual black-tie fundraiser has quickly become one of the Waterford’s most anticipated social events.
Last year’s Winter Ball was a phenomenal success, bringing together families, supporters, and local businesses for an evening of glamour, entertainment, and community spirit. Guests enjoyed exquisite dining, live music, and dancing, all while raising funds for Juniors for Juniors’ work with University Hospital Waterford (UHW) and for children across the southeast.
Ray Leahy, Co-Founder of the charity Juniors for Juniors, said: "The Winter Ball last year was truly extraordinary. The generosity, energy, and joy of everyone who attended reminded us why we do this work. We are thrilled to bring the Winter Ball back for 2026 and cannot wait to welcome everyone to another magical evening at Faithlegg House Hotel."
The 2026 Winter Ball promises another unforgettable night, featuring a black-tie gala dinner, live entertainment, and opportunities to support the important initiatives of Juniors for Juniors at UHW and for children across the southeast. Tickets are limited, and early reservations are highly recommended.
