Halloween Masquerade Ball: Creatures of the Night

As daylight fades, another world begins to stir.

We invite guests into an evening shaped by shadow and candlelight, where masks conceal identities, music fills the darkness, and the familiar gives way to something far more mysterious. Inspired by nocturnal legends, ancient folklore, dark fairy tales, and the timeless decadence of the masquerade, Creatures of the Night is a celebration of mystery, transformation, elegance, and indulgence.

For one night, become something otherworldly.

Draw inspiration from the creatures that have haunted stories for centuries: vampires, witches, warlocks, ghouls, demons, banshees, sirens, mermaids, spiders, and spectral beings that linger between this world and the next. Perhaps you are a seductive vampire draped in velvet. A sea siren adorned in shimmering scales...

Costumes are encouraged to capture the spirit of the night while embracing the elegance, drama, and intrigue of a masquerade. Come masked. Come transformed. Come as something thing that only emerges after dark.
