The Skiball 2026 in the Kurhaus Baden-Baden is one of the most traditional carnival parties in the region. Live music, DJs, dancing in several halls and a large costume award ceremony ensure a night full of atmosphere and carnival magic.
The Ski Ball at the Kurhaus Baden-Baden
The Skiball is one of the most famous carnival events in Baden-Baden and has been attracting visitors from all over the region for decades. On Saturday 7 February 2026, the Kurhaus will once again become the stage for one of the most atmospheric nights of carnival. What makes the Skiball so special is the unique mix of live music, dance floors in several halls, creatively dressed-up guests and an atmosphere that can only be created in the Kurhaus
Carnival, music and dancing in two halls
Bands and DJs provide a varied mix of funk, soul, rock and pop in the Bénazetsaal and the Runder Saal. The musical diversity is a trademark of the evening and offers the right sound for every generation. Many regular guests associate the Skiball with the feeling of entering the Kurhaus and immediately being part of a lively, colourful party. The open hallways and the two music areas create a dynamic alternation between dancing, socialising and short breaks, making the evening a pleasantly flowing experience.
Costume ball with a big award ceremony
An integral part of the evening is the big costume award ceremony. It turns the ski ball into a creative competition in which individual costumes are just as much in demand as elaborately designed group ideas. For many guests, the award ceremony is a social highlight that holds new surprises every year.
