Wild West Gold Rush Gala
Welcome to the 18th Annual Charm City Countdown: Wild West Gold Rush Gala – The Premier New Year’s Eve Party in Baltimore! Come spend New Year’s Eve at our Western-themed Ball and help support our local charity at the same time! Share the optimism, excitement and opulence of Gold Rush Boom of the old West, all tucked into the Hilton BWI.
Gold rushes like the California Gold Rush, the Pike’s Peak Gold Rush in Colorado, the Black Hills Gold Rush in Dakota Territory, and the Klondike Gold Rush in Alaska and Yukon, resulted in instant wealth for some, spawning banking and investment, along with fraud and outlaws. We are bringing the excitement and fanfare of the richest gold rush towns to our exclusive, one-of-a-kind New Year’s Eve celebration!
Dress in Western Chic attire, fun cowboy-themed gear, or today’s finest evening wear. The people-watching will nearly be as much fun as dressing up! Yee Haw!
