This year on Friday, October 30, they'll appear at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (2800 Chartres Street), and you're invited to join them! Tickets to "The Skeletons' Masquerade Ball" are $150 per person, including tax and gratuity.For these festivities, the spirits have asked NOCCA's Culinary Arts and Entertainment Production Design departments to craft an elegantly macabre masquerade on the stage of NOCCA's Lupin Hall — one that begins with a cocktail hour and continues at a spectacular three-course meal, complete with wine pairings. Along the way, guests will encounter mysterious characters, sinister stories, and spellbinding student entertainment.Chef Dana D'Anzi Tuohy, chair of NOCCA's Culinary Arts department, promises an unforgettable, upscale dining experience: "The dead don't technically need to eat, but they choose to eat anyway because great food makes all of us feel alive. Our students and faculty are working on a world-class meal to wow the living and the undead."Out of respect for the dearly departed, we encourage you to adorn yourself appropriately for our spectral hosts. Witches, warlocks, magicians, mummies, ghosts, and goblins are all welcome at this one-of-a-kind soiree, and you never know who might be at your table. Dress to impress with a costume or festive cocktail attire!Above all, be prepared for an entertaining evening. The dead come to eat, drink, dance, tell stories, settle old scores, fall in love, and remind the living that life is far too short not to enjoy the party!JUST THE DETAILSEvent: The Skeletons' Masquerade BallDate: Friday, October 30, 2026Time: 6pm - 9pm (doors at 5:45pm)Location: New Orleans Center for Creative ArtsAddress: 2800 Chartres Street, New Orleans, LA 70117Price: $150 per person, including tax and gratuityTicket info: NOCCAFoundation.Eventbrite.comContact: info@noccafoundation.org, 504-233-0271Host: NOCCA's Culinary Arts and Entertainment Production Design DepartmentsDress: Costumes or festive cocktail attire encouragedAdditional info:The menu and wine pairings will be posted as soon as they're finalized.
