TROY, Ohio — The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center will celebrate a major milestone in 2026 with a 50th Anniversary Ball, an elegant evening honoring fifty years of arts, culture, and community in Troy.

The event will take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. at the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center. Reservations for the event are $75 per person and include two drink tickets. Space is limited, and advance reservations are required.

Guests will enjoy live music by Heather and the Swing Set, along with a selection of heavy hors d’oeuvres and beverages, including a signature cocktail created for the occasion using a special batch of Hayner Distillery whiskey. Throughout the evening, guests will also experience art in action as an artist creates a live painting of Heather and the Swing Set performing in the Ballroom.

Additional music will be featured throughout the mansion during the evening. The event will bring together friends of the Hayner and members of the community for a night of music and celebration.

The evening will also highlight local partnerships, with floral arrangements featured throughout the mansion and then shared as door prizes at the end of the night, along with bottles of Hayner whiskey and the live painting created during the performance.

“This celebration is an opportunity to reflect on the many people and moments that have shaped the Hayner Center over the past fifty years,” said committee chair Linda Lee Jolly, former Director of the Center. “We are proud to serve this community and look forward to celebrating this milestone together.”
