Daddy & Daughter Ball

South Whidbey High School 5675 Maxwelton Road, Langley, WA, United States

Save the date for this fun opportunity for dads to take their daughters out for an evening of fun and dancing. This yearly ball has become a favorite local tradition with 300+ coming for a special night out together.

All ages are welcome, though the dance is most frequented by girls ages 3 – 14. We broaden ‘dads’ to include other adult escorts of the girls’ choice.

Not much of a dancer? No matter; John Travolta’s dancing skills are not required when the DJ plays “YMCA”. It’s simply an evening to put on your best duds, get goofy on the dance floor, have a nice photo taken together and visit with other dads and daughters.

Your all-inclusive ticket includes sweet refreshments, a digital photo (available online 4 weeks after the dance), and a raffle ticket for a chance at door prizes! Tickets are $30 in advance/$35 at the door (if space is available). Tickets for additional daughters: $15/each. Purchase tickets in advance at https://www.activityreg.com/ClientPage_t2.wcs?clientid=WHIDBEY&siteid=1

Location: South Whidbey High School ‘Commons’
