About Ballgown · Since 2017

The Square is
your ballroom.

What began in 2017 as a night out with friends has become a Georgetown tradition. Ballgown Square Crawl, Inc. brings people together for an evening of dressing up, discovering local businesses, and giving back.

The celebration unfolds throughout the Georgetown Square. We begin at the courthouse at 5 PM for a big group photo, then explore participating shops, restaurants, and bars at our own pace—with exclusive perks for wristband holders along the way.

Shop. Dine. Sip. Explore. Give back.

HOW BALLGOWN WORKS

A full Square. One unforgettable night.

On November 21, guests in black-and-white formalwear will explore bars, restaurants, boutiques and other businesses throughout the Georgetown Square. A Ballgown wristband identifies ticket holders and unlocks the special offers created by participating businesses.

The evening begins with a 5 PM group photo at the Williamson County Courthouse and continues across the Square until 10 PM. Ticket proceeds benefit The Key2Free, our 2026 beneficiary.
