DeKalb History Center’s Enchanted Masquerade & Silent Auction

Join us for an evening of merriment and revelry at the Enchanted Masquerade.

This year’s party will feature mouthwatering food from seven preferred caterers, an open bar with themed cocktails, and of course your chance to bid and win extraordinary treasures. We will be holding a Best Dressed contest, so slip on a mask of your choice, dust off your fairy wings, ivy crowns, or elegant attire, and go head-to-head with the most fashionable denizens in the land.

Your look can be whimsical, elegant, or inspired by the realm of fantasy, such as forest royalty or enchanted fairies. Slip on a mask of your choice — think lace, feathers, bejeweled, or mysterious. Dress in gold, silver, or jewel tones (emerald, sapphire, amethyst, ruby, etc.) to shimmer under the spell of the night.

Women: Short or long cocktail dresses, capes, corsets, or celestial accessories. Fairy wings, flower crowns, and sparkles are all encouraged!

Men: Outfits in jewel tones, metallics, or florals with a touch of enchantment! No need for a full suit.
