A NIGHT OF EERIE ELEGANCE
Haunted Soiree: A Macabre Cocktail Party is a free-roam cocktail party inside of a historically haunted venue. It’s a night of themed mini-cocktails, extravagant entertainment, music, macabre magic, surreal specters and interactive guest experiences. A truly unique, 21+ Halloween Event for Grown-Ups!
GUEST EXPERIENCE
When you arrive, you’ll be free to experience the events of the evening at your own leisure. You may simply choose to indulge in the included mini-cocktail tastings, enjoy the live shows and roaming entertainment; or you might decide to dig a little deeper and uncover the surreal ghost story that lies at the heart of it all. Guests are encouraged to dress up for the evening, be it in costume, cocktail attire, or your favorite time-period clothing!
MINI-SPIRIT TASTINGS
Our Mini-Spirit Tastings are included in the ticket price, handcrafted and designed specifically for Haunted Soiree. The evening’s mini-cocktails are curated to feature a variety of unique flavor profiles. Be bold, try them all and you may find yourself haunted by a new favorite spirit by the end of the night!
ENGAGE, INTERACT & DISCOVER
Each ghost you encounter has a unique backstory–and they’re just dying to tell you about it. By speaking with them, you’ll slowly uncover the season’s original ghost story that connects each of the specters to a dark force that haunts the venue. What is the true nature of the dark force? That is up to you to discover! Each season’s story is an original tale, inspired by historical hauntings and regional folklore from a specific culture. Every season is different, with a different cultural inspiration and folklore to discover!
THIS SEASON: THE VEGA HAUNTING
After the mysterious death of their child Little Magpie, Francisco and Molly Vega find themselves tormented by a strange entity that has roosted in the shadows and preys upon their fragile emotional state. The characters and themes of Haunted Soiree: The Vega Haunting are loosely based on real life inspirations, including Spanish painter Francisco Goya, his final days painting his famous Black Paintings, as well as several other Spanish folktales and traditions throughout the centuries.
