Le Bal des Vampires

Join us for a truly haunting evening of amazing music, dancing, and costumes. Dance the night away with the San Francisco Bay Area’s most glamorous Undead at the 29th Annual Le Bal des Vampires at the beautiful and allegedly haunted Alameda Elks Lodge at 2255 Santa Clara Ave., Alameda, CA.

There will once again be two separate dance floors: The elegant Edwardian grand ballroom for beautiful waltzes and other Victorian and vintage ballroom dance music by the vintage music ensemble Greenwich Mean Time; and the Nightfall Club, located in the Lodge's atmospheric Rathskellar, hosted by DJ Persephone, playing dance music of a more modern nature for free-style dancing. Additional special performance by Pretty Frankenstein. Ball guests may wander to and fro between the dance floors as they please.

The event features two no-host bars for our mortal guests, and Tarot readings in the social parlour. Historical costume from the century of your rebirth, Gothic or Fantasy costume, Steampunk attire, or modern evening dress is admired but not required.

This is our most popular event of the year and invariably sells out early. For ticket information, see https://www.peersdance.org/vamps2025.html
