Edgar Allan Poe's Dark Masquerade
Event box
In-Person
Now come one, come all to this tragic affair!
A night full of mystery—if you dare.
Behind velvet masks and candlelight’s glow,
We honor the works of Edgar Allan Poe.
Create a disguise, both eerie and grand,
In our mask-making craft, by your own hand.
Or summon the spirit of Poe’s solemn lore,
With raven art workshops—dark tales to explore.
A scavenger hunt through the grand, haunted halls,
Unraveling secrets from ghostly calls.
Seek out the colors, the plague, and the fate,
For the Masque of Red Death seals all with its weight.
A contest of costumes—deadly and bold,
A vision of gothic, macabre, and old.
Will you be the victor? A prize shall be won,
For the finest attire of darkness and fun!
And fear not, dear guests, for amidst all the dread,
A feast shall be laid—both ghastly and red.
Sip on dark brews, taste treats of the night,
A banquet of horrors—both chilling and bright.
So enter, partake, in this grand soirée,
A night to remember before you decay.
For prizes, for glory, for terror untamed—
At Poe’s darkened masquerade, none leave the same!
No registration is required, but please arrive early to enjoy the whole night! This event is intended for you to stay and enjoy its entirety. Costume contest and scavenger hunt grand prize winners will be announced at the conclusion of the event at 7:30 p.m.
