Whispers in the Dark: A Masquerade Ball

Friday, February 13 • 6:00–11:00 PM

Castle McCulloch, Jamestown, North Carolina

Step beyond the velvet veil and into a night of secrets, candlelight, and spellbinding music. Beneath the vaulted stone of Castle McCulloch, masks conceal and whispers carry—where every glance could be a vow, a dare, or a dream.

What to Expect

21+ to attend. Ticket includes access to the event and full venue, light catering, ballroom dance instruction, all activities and performances (tattoos not included with ticket price) and much more...

Grand Masquerade Atmosphere: Gothic romance meets dark fantasy across historic halls, torchlit walkways, and hidden alcoves.

Live Entertainment & Dancing: Waltz to haunting melodies, then lose yourself to modern rhythms as the night deepens.

Immersive Moments: Currated  photo ops, and little surprises designed to delight (and maybe unsettle) in the best way.

Libations & Light Fare: Bar service available with themed beverages for purchase.

Photo-Ready Spaces: Elegant backdrops and moody corners perfect for portraits and candids.

Color-Coded Connection System: Every guest receives a mask and wristband to signal their status—

🟡 Gold for Single

A playful way to let whispers turn into conversations.

Attire
