October 28, 2023 - Halloween Moonlight Madness Gala ![]() With our Collection of antique music machines dating from the mid 1800s, a frequent question I get from visitors is, "Are there ghosts and spirits in the house?" The answer is...definitely, but they are easier to see and hear when we hold our annual (with a slight interruption for covid years) Halloween Moonlight Madness Gala. So mark your calendars for Saturday, October 28, 2023 as the Victorian Estate will be rockin' and swinging. You don't want to miss the party. This will sell out early!
TICKETS INCLUDE: For one week VIP Tables of up to 10 seats will be on sale first. You purchase one of the VIP tables and you can bring up to 10 guests, or seat your smaller party at your own, private table. Individual ticket sales will go up one week later. You can purchase 1 to 9 individual tickets and if you don't email us your seating preferences with other friends purchasing tickets, we'll seat you with other excited, scary and/or well dressed guests. (It's a party after all, so meeting new folks is always good!). We promise to do our best seating individuals with friends if you email us those preferences early. ![]() Private VIP Tables (up to 10 seats) are $1400 and individual tickets are $140 each. You can't get a more enjoyable setting for a Halloween Party. Our guests get into dressing up in everything from scary, to Victorian, to 20s flapper, and more.
