Details

Sharpen your fangs and descend into the dark abyss as the infamous VAMPIRE BALL (21+) returns to the historic Hofheimer Building on Friday the 13th (November 2026) in Scott’s Addition.

With the echoes of Halloween 2026 fading into the crypt, this gothic themed affair promises a creep-tacular experience for those who crave the wickedness of costumed extravagance.

Special "Bloody Happy Hour" from 7-8:00pm for Adv. Ticket holders (main doors at 8pm) in the Library (i.e. 2nd Floor Lounge)

DRESS CODE: Attendees are encouraged to unleash their inner creatures of the night, draped in attire that celebrates the darkness. Fangs, masques, cloaks, corsets, capes, black-on-black ensembles, top hats, latex, and leather will adorn those who dare to venture. Attire inspiration can be found in the haunting aesthetics of Baroque, Victorian, Gothic, Neo-Victorian, Steampunk, Edwardian, and Aristocratic styles, for the immortal allure of Vampires knows no bounds.

CHARITY DRIVE: But beware, the night holds more than just unholy revelry. Attendees are encouraged to bring offerings of canned goods in the form of a CHARITY FOOD DRIVE, a tribute to FeedMore.org – a Food Bank in Richmond that helps fight food insecurity across central Virginia. Every two cans sacrificed to the cause shall grant donors one raffle ticket, casting them into the void of chance, where donated prizes await numerous lucky attendees via a Silent Raffle Drawing in the late evening. Multiple winning raffle tickets will be drawn later in the evening during the Nov. 13 VAMPIRE BALL (21+) awarding lots of different donated prizes to different winners!
