In the Harry Potter books, the Yule Ball was a mid-winter dance to celebrate the Triwizard tournament. Our Yule Ball will be a charity concert and dance held in Emerson Suites to raise money for the Finger Lakes Land Trust, which is an environmental organization based in Ithaca. The event will be open to the public! RSVP to our event page.
The night will begin with a wizard rock concert from 7pm to 9pm featuring wizard rock artists The Whomping Willows and Lauren Fairweather. Following the concert there will be a DJ and dance from 9pm to midnight. Two events, one ticket!
Ticket Prices:
$10 during tabling
$12 at the door
We will be tabling February 7 through the 10th from 10am to 3pm in the North Foyer of Campus Center. You can also purchase you tickets online here.
What is the Harry Potter Alliance?
The IC Harry Potter Alliance is a chapter of a national non-profit organization of the same name. We use the popular books by JK Rowling to inspire people to get involved with social activism campaigns.
Last year we collected books to donate to Books through Bars and Autumn Leaves. We also collected hundreds of signitures for the national HPA’s ongoing campaign, “Not in Harry’s Name” to encourage Warner Bros to make all Harry Potter trademarked candy fair trade.
This summer we won the national HPA and Splashlife's Imagine Better contest for a $1000 grant, making this event possible.
What is the Finger Lakes Land Trust?

Where do the proceeds go?
Half the proceeds will be used to help us fund further campaigns and events like an academic conference and Accio Books in the spring.
The other half will be donated to the Finger Lakes Land Trust.
