Step into Shiloh Manor for an old-fashioned evening of dinner, live traditional music, dancing, and good company.

Enjoy a special multi-course harvest dinner before the music begins and the floor opens for an evening of traditional dancing. A live caller will guide guests through the dances, so no previous dance experience is needed.

Come dressed for an elegant evening—or make it even more memorable with period-inspired or old-fashioned attire. Costumes are encouraged, but never required.

Everyone is welcome.

An Evening at Shiloh Manor

Begin the evening gathered around the table for a traditional Virginia-inspired dinner, then stay as Shiloh Manor comes alive with music and dancing.

The evening includes:

A Multi-Course Harvest Dinner
Live Traditional Music
English Country Dancing with a Live Caller
The Traditional Virginia Reel
Hot Apple Toddy & Egg Nogg After Dinner
Period-Inspired Attire Encouraged

Whether you have been dancing for years or have never tried a traditional dance before, our caller will teach and guide the group throughout the evening.

The goal is simple: eat well, enjoy the music, meet new people, and have fun.

Come As You Are—or Dress for the Occasion

Part of the fun of The Harvest Ball is stepping into another time for the evening.

Guests are invited to wear old-fashioned, vintage, historical, or period-inspired clothing from the era of their choice.

But dressing in costume is completely optional.

A dress, jacket, slacks, or whatever makes you comfortable for an evening of dinner and dancing is perfectly welcome.

Period costumes encouraged. Never required.

No Dancing Experience Needed

Never danced an English country dance?

That is absolutely fine.

A live caller will explain the dances and guide everyone through the steps. The evening is designed so newcomers can join in alongside experienced dancers.

And before the evening comes to an end, everyone will have the opportunity to join together for the traditional Virginia Reel.
