Where is the Masquerade Ball taking place? The masquerade ball will take place at  The Prince George Ballroom where history meets luxury at Manhattan's premier event destination in the Flatiron District. Conveniently located between Fifth and Madison Avenues on 27th Street - and meticulously restored to its original Neo-Renaissance splendor - this landmark venue is the ideal place for our UNIS community to come together and celebrate.  You will be able to dance and mingle with other guests in your finery and optional mask.
