On Saturday, February 21, 2026, San Diego will experience heartbreak in a grotesquely beautiful apocalypse - the return of the Tortured Hearts Ball!
Returning in 2026, this sequel will be a mesmerizing twist, set in a series of hotel ballrooms, and elevating itself from the first, as despair and desire reunite.
You're invite to this celebration of the bizarre and exotic at our ode to the bitter and the lonely, the bound and the broken, at a dark masquerade almost too bold for San Diego.
Expect two DJ dance spaces with a variety of melodies, a ballroom dance hall, specialty vendors, a karaoke salon, a hidden speakeasy, side quests, a gaming den, a performance room, and more secrets to be revealed soon!
Be engrossed in our demented world inspired by your most beautiful nightmares. Have a front row seat to peculiar and uncommon entertainment and performances. Acquire one-of-a-kind items from our specialty vendors. And satiate your morbid curiosity as you bask in the glorious darkness of the Tortured Hearts Ball.
Come in your masquerade finest - as costumes are mandatory and necessary for entry. The requirement, however, is flexible, as a mask, costume, or anything thematically relevant for a masquerade ball is acceptable.
Casual attire is not acceptable and will not allow entry into the Dark Realm.
