About this Event

Buffalo’s biggest Halloween event, hosted by Buffalo Rising, is back!

The 12th Annual Witches Ball returns to the historic—and famously haunted—Statler Hotel on Saturday, October 25, 2025.

This year’s theme is Creature Feature. We want to see you let loose your inner monster. This is your chance to embody your favorite cinematic legends—from Dracula and the Wolfman to femme fatales, scream queens, and B-movie beasts.

This is more than just a party—it’s a beloved WNY Halloween Experience.

You can expect:

  • Costume Contest with $1,000 in local prizes
  • Access to three levels of the Statler with multiple ballrooms
  • Multiple DJs spinning house & Top 40 hits from the last four decades
  • Live music
  • Silent Disco
  • Souvenir Cup
  • Curated Vendor Market
  • Psychic Lounge with tarot readers and mediums (readings sold separately)
  • Cash bars throughout the venue
  • Food available for purchase (new options this year!)
  • Party in one of the most haunted hotels in America—as featured on Ghost Hunters!

Additional details available on witchesballbuffalo.com or by following us on social media at @buffalorisingevents. Full schedule of events and vendors will be published mid-September. Tickets are non-refundable. Reserve early—this event sells out every year!
