The Kootsie Ball returns to the Hotel Lafayette where it was first held 40 years ago, in 1976. The 40th anniversary of Buffalo's longest running gala will take place in both gorgeously restored ballrooms and in the cocktail lounge. Tickets include all-night open bar, hors d'oeuvres, and parking. 

The first Kootsie was one of the last events held in the Crystal Ballroom before the Hotel Lafayette closed down. The night begins at 8:00pm with two stages, four bands, and floor shows. As always, dress is Creative Black Tie. 

A portion of the proceeds benefit Give for Greatness.
