Philadelphia Ballet’s Red Rose Farm Spring Festival Blends World-Class Dance with Garden Elegance

Philadelphia Ballet welcomed supporters to its annual Spring Festival at Red Rose Farm in Villanova, where ballet, philanthropy, and the beauty of the outdoors came together for one of the company’s most anticipated fundraising events of the season.

Hosted on the picturesque estate of Board Chairman David F. Hoffman and Mary MacElree, the event celebrated the arts while raising vital support for Philadelphia Ballet’s performances, education, and community outreach programs.

Guests enjoyed cocktails and conversation before gathering on the lawn for an intimate outdoor performance curated by Artistic Director Angel Corella.
The program showcased breathtaking classical and neoclassical pas de deux, highlighting the extraordinary artistry and athleticism of Philadelphia Ballet’s dancers.




The evening also recognized outstanding volunteer service with the presentation of the Anthony Haller Volunteer of the Year Award, underscoring the important role supporters play in the company’s continued success.

Following the performance, attendees dined beneath the spring sky while mingling with dancers, artists, patrons, and civic leaders in a relaxed garden setting.
Now in its seventh year, the Spring Festival has become a signature event for Philadelphia Ballet, offering an unforgettable blend of artistic excellence, natural beauty, and community spirit while helping ensure the company continues to thrive both on stage and throughout the region.
