It was a tradition to wear masks to such affairs and to reveal real identities at the end of the evening.
Lord Capulet sends his servant to invite the guests to the ball, but the servant can't read the names so he asks Romeo for help. When Romeo and his friends learn about the ball, they decide to attend, because, wearing masks they can avoid being recognized. At the end of the evening, he spies Juliet and, well you know the rest.

It was a plot device. It, perhaps, makes it reasonable that a Montague and Capulet could fall in love because of the anonymity created by the masks.

it rather is a masqeurade ball. It would not might desire to be ball nevertheless, that is masquerade occasion, etc. Masquerade meaning, to have or placed on a deceptive visual attraction, or to placed on a mask.
