Saturday night Afterparty

The Shadow Court: A Night in the Underworld

As the sun sets over the mortal realm, the veil between worlds thins. Step through the gates of the Underworld for a night of mythic revelry and high-fantasy enchantment. Inspired by the legendary tale of Hades and Persephone, we are transforming the night into a realm of obsidian shadows, neon blooms, and ancient magic.

Whether you arrive in your Dread Queen finery, King of Shadows armor, or starlit court attire, prepare to lose yourself in the music and allure of the court.

Dance like the immortals, the Underworld is waiting.
