Krampus Ball

Saturday December 6th:

You won’t want to miss our Krampus Ball! This is a night to celebrate some of our lesser-known figures from winter lore- Krampus, Frau Perchta, La Befana, Mari Lwyd, Belsnickel, Grýla and the Yule Lads to name a few! Creative dress is highly encouraged- register your costume to win a grand prize that will be announced at midnight! The crowd will be doing the voting, so dress to impress and mingle with a motive!

Doors will open at 9pm, and merriment will immediately ensue! Grab a drink and roam the halls of our highly festive Castle, decorated to the hilt! Enjoy fun and games in various corners, a photo booth, mini tarot readings, and dance like a holiday fool to the sounds of DJ Cemetery gates who will be spinning some Post Punk, Dark Wave, New Wave, Goth, Synth and Alt classics! On the third floor, enjoy a top tier art show curated by Matthew Owens and inspired by Krampus and other unusual figures only seen in the dark half of the year. Featured artists include J Barnett, Krissy Hudson, Christian Persing and Rachel, all from Evil Eye Tattoo- as well as Katie Martin, Simon Miller, Harrison Richter and Katie Witter! This will be an assemblage of pieces you do NOT want to miss! Many of these pieces will be for sale- keep this in mind for the gift-giving facet of the season!

This event is for those who are at least 21 years of age- you will be asked to show your ID at check-in. We do have a coat closet for your convenience, but you will be responsible for any items that you leave within it. Doors open promptly at 9 PM, and you are invited to party heartily until 1 AM! It will be in your best interest to purchase tickets online in advance, this event will undoubtedly sell out! Tickets are $35 in advance, or $45 at the door on the 6th, should any tickets remain. We can’t wait to see your creative visions come to life!
