An evening of burlesque allure, dazzling costumes & contest, night market, tarot readings, photo booth, dancing in the New Year and more!

Step into a night of enchantment at the Mystical Masquerade New Year’s Eve Ball—an immersive celebration where burlesque allure, otherworldly fantasy, and midnight magic collide. This is no ordinary countdown party… it’s a journey through the realms.

Arrive early to explore our shimmering night market, featuring magical vendors from the other side of the veil, that will be offering curiosities, charms, and delights you won’t find in the mortal realm. Seek insight and mischief at our oracle & tarot readings, test your wit against the Goblin at the Riddle Cave for a chance at their treasures, earn dandelion prizes from our producer, the ever mysterious Seraphina Syren, purchase hexes & charms for your drinks at the Potion Booth and don’t forget to commemorate your look in our photo booth, capturing every glimmer and shadow of your disguise.

When the lights fall, our cast of tantalizing burlesque performers will lure you into a world woven with mystery, glamour, and wicked enchantment. At intermission, take the stage yourself in our costume contest, where the most astonishing masks and transformations will earn magical prizes.

And once the final curtain drops, the revelry rises—DJ Kaos Theory takes over the night, filling the room with irresistible rhythms as we dance our way into the New Year. Raise a glass, lose yourself behind the mask, and welcome midnight in true mystical style.
