We hope you and your family made it safely through Hurricane Milton.
The last few weeks have been difficult for our community and, as a local small business, we want to give back however we can.
The best way we know how to do that is by creating a space where our friends and neighbors can get together, have fun, and support each other.
That’s why we will still be holding The Devil’s Ball on October 18th with just a few tweaks.
We are reducing tickets for The Devil’s Ball to $10 general admission and $50 for VIP.
Additionally, in coordination with our partners, we will be supporting local charities by collecting donations and essential supplies at both events to help our hardest-hit neighborhoods.
The Devil's Ball: Unholy Union
You are invited to join us under the glow of the Blood Moon, as Alden, captivated by Elara's enchanting beauty, eagerly prepares to marry her amidst the grandeur of Historic Nova 535 in Downtown St. Petersburg, Florida.
Elara and her coven of sisters have carefully orchestrated the ceremony, their intentions veiled beneath smiles and whispered promises.
But behind the facade of love and devotion lies a darker truth—
As the fateful date approaches, the air is thick with anticipation and a sense of impending danger, setting the stage for a mystery where love and malevolence collide under the watchful gaze of the Blood Moon.
