The Black Hat Bash is back, and it's bigger and better than ever! Gather your family and get ready for adventure when you attend The Children's Museum Guild's annual kick off party to the Haunted House—the Black Hat Bash!
The Black Hat Bash is a special one-night event that celebrates the oldest continually-operating haunted house in the nation! It's not only the biggest and best family Halloween party in town—it's also the public’s first look at this year's Haunted House, Wicked Woods. So if your family is counting down the days to the Haunted House, this is the party for you! It's an all-ages affair that promises to be frightfully fun!
This year’s bash is Saturday night, October 7th from 6:30–9:30 p.m. and is complete with food stations from local restaurants, spellbinding spirits, and boo-tifully batty beverages. You'll experience Halloween hilarity throughout the museum—dancing to spooky tunes spinned by a devilish DJ, taking part in a crazy costume contest, playing in a dreadful arcade, listening to hauntingly good fireside stories, and enjoying ghostly games and activities on all levels of the museum. And, don't forget that every attendee receives a ticket to the Haunted House, which can be used during the event or during any Haunted House hours, Oct. 7–31.
Want to hear the best part? Proceeds from the Black Hat Bash are part of the larger Haunted House fundraising effort led by The Children’s Museum Guild each year. The Guild has raised more than $10 million since it began in 1964, supporting museum initiatives such as the Foster Family program, Access Pass, and Neighborhood programs.
This is one night at the museum that you don’t want to miss! Get your costumes ready and start counting down the days to this un-BOO-lievable kickoff to the 54th annual Haunted House.
