Get into the Halloween spirit at our Mix & Mingle costume party! Theme—a nostalgic nod to the 90s, infused with a bit of hocus-pocus and a contemporary twist. As you step through the iron gate, you’ll be greeted by moody florals, flickering taper candles, and elegant candelabras, setting the perfect eerie atmosphere. A smoking cauldron of witch’s brew and haunting decor will whisk you away to the ultimate Salem costume ball.
