Midnight Dreary Masquerade
About This Event
On Saturday October 24th, join us for an atmospheric Edgar Allan Poe-themed evening of mystery, ghosts, themed refreshments, and macabre tales.
- Scavenger hunt: Solve the tell-tale clues scattered throughout the shop for a prize
- Themed snacks: Sip from the Cask of Amontillado or partake in the Pita and the Pendulum charcuterie board
- Writing station: Try your hand at writing your own melancholy Gothic verse with quill and ink
- Photo op: Interact with the ghostly apparitions of Edgar Allan Poe and Virginia Eliza Poe and snap a photo with them if you dare
- Costume/poetry contest: Brave souls who win the favor of the Poes with a particularly impressive costume or line of verse will be rewarded!
Gothic or Victorian costumes are welcome (and necessary to have a chance at winning a costume prize!), but are not mandatory. This event's activities do not run on a schedule and can be done at any time, so you can arrive and leave at your leisure during the window of the event (7-8:30pm). Entry is $10/person.
