What's going to happen?
There will be many events at the Gala this year, including:
Meet the Princesses
Come one, come all and form a line before the stairs to the gala! Princess Celestia and the newly-crowned Princess Twilight Sparkle will be there to greet every single pony that was lucky enough to get their hooves on a ticket (including you).
Ice Cold Entertainment (ICE)
Get ready to sculpt! After an, um, incident with our normal ice sculptor, we are lacking a beautiful sculpture in the middle of the gala ballroom floor, so we are leaving it up to you to provide us with one! The winner’s sculpture will be placed in the castle for the rest of the night, and they will, of course, earn bragging rights.
This will take place at /warp ICE
Rules:
- Permitted materials: Ice, snow, water, and white wool

- You may work in teams, but you may only make one sculpture!

Discord's Dance Party (DANCE)
Ever since Discord was reformed, Celestia has been putting more responsibilities upon him. This year he has been put in charge of the Gala's main event.
Setting up the decor, the food, and the music. But knowing Discord, this will not be your run of the mill average dance... so expect some hidden surprises.
Music for the event will be broadcasted over Brohoof Radio. Feel free at anytime during the event to request a song using the chat panel on the website. For general discussions about the songs, please use the /ch radio chat channel in-game.
Hoity Toity's Best Ensemble Challenge
After the dance is wrapped up, Hoity Toity himself will be there to overlook the attendees' dresses and pick out the best dressed pony at the Gala. Have an eye for fashion and a skill for sewing? Get your fabrics together and get to sewing that perfect dress or suit for this year’s Gala!
Make a pony skin with the best-looking outfit you can, and submit your dresses to the forum page to enter the contest: (SD skins, HD skins). The winner will be announced at the closing of the Gala by Hoity Toity.
