Our 30th Winter Ball was a great success, welcoming nearly 300 guests from Tampa Bay and beyond. Elegant and festive décor, lively music, and fiery dance performances showcasing the best of Slavic culture made the evening truly unforgettable. This anniversary Ball was dedicated to raising funds for the installation of a statue honoring Peter Demens, the founder of St. Petersburg, Florida.

Every detail has been thoughtfully planned to make tonight truly unforgettable as we celebrate a milestone — the 30th Annual Winter Ball. ✨ Tonight, January 24, we gather in St. Petersburg, Florida, to honor tradition, culture, community, and the people who keep Russian Heritage alive year after year.
