Step beyond the ordinary and into an unforgettable Halloween experience.About this Event
🎃THE BALL AWAKENS AGAIN🎃
Four years ago, a Halloween tradition was born.
The music played.
The candles glowed.
The Ball was alive.
Then silence fell.
For two long years it slept.
But on October 30, 2026, the doors open once more.
Step inside an immersive Halloween experience featuring breathtaking décor, an LED dance floor, two photo booths, a costume contest, specialty cocktails, delicious food, and unforgettable memories.
-Your Invitation Awaits-
The early spirits rise before the rest,
And claim their tickets at the very best.
Purchase before August 15 and your ticket is just $50.
After August 15, tickets will be $60.
Answer the call before the clock strikes late,
Or pay a little more beyond the gate.
*Tickets available online only*
Halloween costumes are strongly encouraged.
-The Midnight Feast-
From candle glow and autumn night,
Awaits a feast to tempt the night.
Grazing boards both near and far,
Savory bites beneath the stars.
Cupcakes sweet and donuts rare,
Halloween candies gathered there.
A popcorn cauldron waits for you,
With tasty toppings not just a few.
Take a bite and stay awhile,
Each taste is worth a wicked smile.
-The Phantom’s Fizz-
From hidden corners, cool and bright,
Our soda station flows all night.
Choose your flavor, sweet and bold,
And sip a story yet untold.
With every pour and sparkling gleam,
A little magic fills the scene.
-Enchanted Spirits-
Should your thirst seek something more,
The Magnolia tends the bar once more.
Cocktails, spirits, brews, and wine,
Available for purchase throughout the night.
Designed by Unforgettable Moments with Halloween flair,
Specialty themed cocktails await you there.
A cash bar waits for those who dare,
With haunted sips and festive fare.
Please note, dear guests, before you start,
Alcohol is sold separately and not included as part.
While Unforgettable Moments creates and hosts the Ball, The Magnolia proudly provides all bar service and alcohol sales throughout the evening.
-Let the Dead Dance-
When evening comes and shadows creep,
The music stirs from its long sleep.
Beneath emerald glow and haunting light,
Dance across our LED dance floor all night.
Gather friends both near and dear,
The Ball has finally reappeared.
-The Costume Court-
Do you possess the finest disguise?
The one that captures wandering eyes?
Secret judges will search the crowd,
For costumes bold and spirits proud.
At 10:30 PM, the chosen few
Will take the stage for all to view.
The crowd shall help decide their fate,
And who shall leave in 1st place state.
For those whose costumes steal the show,
These treasured prizes shall bestow:
First Place — $200
Second Place — $150
Third Place — $100
-Capture the Enchantment-
One photo booth would never do,
So this year we are bringing two.
Gather your friends and strike a pose,
Before another moment goes.
Memories made throughout the night,
Can be sent directly to your phone before first light.
-Rest Your Weary Bones-
Should dancing feet begin to tire,
Or conversation you desire,
The bar area offers ample space,
To rest awhile at a gentler pace.
-Parking Woes Vanquished-
Street parking lines the nearby way,
And garages rest not far away.
Arrive with ease and leave the same,
With nothing standing in your way.
-Beyond the Gates, Darkness Awaits-
Step inside and you shall find,
A Halloween evening thoughtfully designed.
Emerald light and candle glow,
Guide the path wherever you go.
Two photo booths stand at the ready,
While the LED dance floor keeps the rhythm steady.
From treats and sweets to costumes grand,
Immersive décor has all been planned.
Gather your ghoul gang.
Dress to impress.
Dance with the dead.
And join us as the Ball awakens once again.
🖤Till Death Do Us Party.🖤
