THE ROSE BALL - Est. 1971
The Grandest Ball of them All
A Tradition of Elegance
and Commitment to Community
Since 1971, The Rose Ball has been one of Greenville’s most anticipated and celebrated events — a night where elegance, philanthropy, and community spirit come together in spectacular fashion. Held biennially at the breathtaking Poinsett Club, The Rose Ball dazzles guests with magnificent floral displays, live entertainment, and an atmosphere of timeless Southern charm.
More than an unforgettable evening, The Rose Ball serves a greater purpose: raising critical funds to support a wide range of charitable organizations across the Upstate. Every petal, every note of music, every toast made throughout the night contributes to building a stronger, more vibrant Greenville.
