Secrets of the Cemetery

Spend the evening wandering through a world of haunting elegance, lively entertainment, and unforgettable experiences while supporting Hope's mission. The night includes:

• Hors d'oeuvres, desserts, and handcrafted cocktails
• Dancing
• Individual and group costume contests
• Live and silent auctions
• Spirited games and activities, such as 'Heads or Tails' and 'Split the Pot'
• Raffles and delightfully eerie surprises

Dress to Distress

Costumes are encouraged—and exceptional looks may earn prizes in our individual and group costume contests. Graveyard Glam will embrace the spooky side of Halloween with a touch of style. Think moonlit graveyards, crumbling tombstones, ravens, cobwebs, skeletons, ghosts, eerie florals, and gothic details. Whether you come as a haunted bride, ghostly gravedigger, glamorous vampire, moonlit witch, mysterious raven, stylish skeleton, gothic ringmaster, or create your own creepy character, we can't wait to see your take on the theme.
