🎭 An Otherworldly Masquerade: Dreams & Nightmares Collide
Step into an otherworldly realm where your sweetest dreams shimmer—and your darkest nightmares awaken. Join us for an evening of enchantment, fantasy, and eerie elegance. Costumes inspired by bedtime stories, dreamscapes, or classic night terrors are highly encouraged. Whether you come dressed as a blissful sleeper or something that keeps others awake at night… you’ll be right at home.
Costume inspiration includes:
•Otherworldly creatures
•Twisted fairytales
•Haunted carnival performers
•Sleepwalkers and shadow selves
•Soft-focus beauty with an unsettling edge
Dress to impress and express—because costumes are not only encouraged, they’re celebrated. The winner of the costume contest walks away with a killer prize.
