In 1949, the Junior League first introduced the St. Nicholas Sweetheart Ball. The Sweetheart Ball was established initially as the King and Queen Ball. A king and queen were elected to reign and the queen had a court of princesses.

The king and queen concept was reformatted in 1957 in favor of the current presentation of the Debutantes. The tradition of the Sweetheart Ball has continued throughout the past 75 years with the 59th Sweetheart Ball being held on February 8, 2025.

This year's Ball will be held on Saturday, February 8, 2025 at the Hilton Universal City Hotel.
