Is the Yule Ball an annual event or is it only
held in conjunction with the Triwizard
Tournament?

In GoF, Chapter 22, Prof. McGonagall states "The
Yule Ball is approaching -- a traditional part of
the Triwizard Tournament and an opportunity for
us to socialize with our foreign guests."

Back in Chapter 10, Mrs. Weasley is packing Ron's
dress robes. She also went to Hogwarts (see GoF
Chapter 31), and assuming she went for all seven
years and that the Yule Ball was an annual event
in her time, she would explain to Ron why she's
packing the dress robes. She doesn't tell Ron
about the Yule Ball because it's a secret, just
like the Triwizard Tournament.
