The 2026 Bal Masqué Royal Election

Bal Masqué is Maison Noir’s third and largest San Francisco masquerade production, presented at the historic Hibernia Bank on August 29, 2026. The night brings together black-tie masquerade style, live performances, roaming characters, dramatic lighting, and the presentation of the elected Royal Family.

Before the ball, supporters vote for contestants in the official portrait gallery. The live vote ranking elects four places in the Crown, ranks 5–12 as the Royal Family, and ranks 13–25 as the Royal Court. People outside those positions remain contenders and can rise as verified votes are counted.

This page is the official live standing for the contest. Rankings are not final until voting closes; use each contestant’s page to learn who they are, vote, and follow their progress.
