Henri David Halloween Ball 2011
The Henri David Halloween Ball is a tradition in Philadelphia that goes way back to the 1960s. Jeweler Henri David started the Ball in 1968. He was already into collecting and wearing wild costumes so the Ball came about since he needed a place to wear his finery. Over the years the Ball moved to bigger and bigger venues. Twice it was held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The crowds for a Saturday night Ball are well over 2000 people. And, many of the attendees are men dressed in women’s costumes. Oh my! Here are photos from the latest Henri David Halloween Ball. Enjoy!
