Vampire Ball 2025 (Richmond, VA)

Details

The 2023 & 2024 sold out VAMPIRE BALL returns on Nov. 8, 2025!

Sharpen your fangs and descend into the dark abyss as the infamous VAMPIRE BALL (21+) invades the River City! With the echoes of Halloween 2025 fading into the crypt, this gothic themed affair promises a creep-tacular experience for those who crave the wickedness of costumed extravagance.

🎟 EVENT INFO / TIX: http://www.RVAvampires.com

A variety of ghastly entertainment shall bewitch the forsaken souls in attendance. The haunting melodies of music and performances, along with the crowning of a Vampire “King and Queen” as well as live body painting are sure to ensnare the senses. DC Creators Body Art Collective will transform select attendees into wicked creations. As the night deepens, a nocturnal DJ will summon lost souls to dance on the brink of damnation with Dollz Entertainment digging up creepy performances throughout the dark evening.

But beware, the night holds more than just unholy revelry. Attendees are encouraged to bring offerings of canned goods, a tribute to a Feed More (www.feedmore.org) in Richmond in the form of a CHARITY FOOD DRIVE. Every two cans sacrificed to the cause shall grant them one raffle ticket, casting them into the void of chance, where donated raffle prizes await the lucky.

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.

A selection of “creatures of the night” themed cocktails will flow freely to quench unearthly thirst. Moreover, a handful of bewitching vendors shall weave their webs of darkness, offering eerie treasures to those who seek the embodiment of the haunting season.

Amidst the eternal twilight, a variety of photographers, both lurking and featured, shall capture the essence of the night, providing a visual feast for the insatiable hunger of their social media realms. For in this visually enchanting gathering, photographs become treasured tokens, forever memorializing the allure of this unhallowed affair.

Prepare to be bewitched, mortals, as the VAMPIRE BALL descends upon Virginia’s capitol. A night of unyielding darkness, where the line between the living and the undead blurs into oblivion. Dare you join us in this dance of eternal shadows?
