The Consular Ball is Houston’s premier white-tie event, held annually to honor the city’s esteemed Diplomatic Corps. As a hallmark of Houston’s international calendar, the Ball stands as a symbol of the city’s global spirit and commitment to diplomacy, cultural exchange, and cross-border collaboration.

Each year, the Consular Ball features a distinct theme that celebrates the richness of global cultures and reflects Houston’s evolving international ties. From the grandeur of its setting to the refinement of its guest list, the evening brings together ambassadors, consuls general, government officials, business leaders, and community figures for a night of distinguished celebration and connection.

More than just a gala, the Consular Ball is an iconic tradition—an embodiment of Houston’s role as one of the most diverse and internationally engaged cities in the United States.
