Illumination 2025

Tickets can be purchased here.

Join us for Illumination, a vibrant Halloween party where artistry and philanthropy unite. Set amidst a radiant spectacle of interactive installations and glowing processions, this event is more than just a celebration. It's a chance to support rare disease research, specifically RVCL, in a playground of light. Engage with illuminated characters, participate in fiery parades, and immerse yourself in the delightful luminosity. Your participation helps us shine a light on the path to discovery. Let's illuminate the night and the future of RVCL research together.

The event takes place on Saturday, October 25, 2025, for what is anticipated to be its largest and most experiential event yet. Dress up in your best costume and join over 1,000 partygoers to not only celebrate Halloween, but to immerse yourself in an otherworldly playground of light-filled with unique performances and artist installations. The evening will include:

Open bar offering specialty cocktails, wine, and beer

The Wildest Performances Yet

A DJ taking us late into the night

Immersive Installation Experiences

Musical performances

Laser/light show

Many more tricks, treats, and surprises...

Don't forget it's a costume party!
