Land of the Midnight Sun

On February 20, 2027, the Kingdom of Sweden will serve as the Host Country for the Diplomatic Corps of Arizona 36th Ambassadors Ball, under the theme "A Royal Midsommar Eve." Inspired by Midsommar, one of Sweden's most loved traditions, the evening celebrates the long light of the Swedish summer with flowers, music, and time spent together at the table. Guests will enjoy a reception and silent auction, a dinner and program shaped by Swedish culture and cuisine, and dancing to close the night at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. The Ball will bring together ambassadors, consuls general, and global leaders for one of Arizona's most distinguished diplomatic traditions.

Proceeds from the 36th Ambassadors Ball will benefit scholarships for international students of Arizona State University.
