This is a one-of-a-kind speakeasy party hosted by local nonprofit St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center (SMSC).

Expect to dance the night away and groove to 80’s hits with live music from local legendary band BETTAMAXX. To fuel all the moonwalking, guests can sip on totally tubular cocktails crafted by expert mixologists and indulge in stellar late-night bites, such as made-to-order tacos and bacon-wrapped hot dogs. All are encouraged to dress funky fresh and ready to impress for a chance to win the costume contest. The epic scavenger hunt will lead to hidden treasures and wickedly cool photo opportunities throughout the venue. All throughout, you’ll find goblins, ghouls and frights around every corner. Grab your Walkman and tease up your hair for a night of nostalgia and scares!
