Remember those childhood nights dressed in mystical costumes, hopping from door to door, seeking sweet treats? Aww, the golden era when even the smallest scare was a thrill. Now, as adults, we’ve elevated the game. The Fortress of Louisbourg Association intends to host a spine-chilling truly Sinister Soirée, complete with costumes, music, Mediums, monsters and more! The 4th Annual Sinister Soirée is poised to deliver an enchanting evening of revelry, entertainment, and perhaps a touch of the supernatural.
This event will ensue throughout multiple venues at the Fortress of Louisbourg, including the vibrant Storehouse Tavern and the exquisite Grandchamps Restaurant, both occupied with live music! Creep and crawl through the historic streets of the Fortress, where buskers boast, to lure you with their mesmerizing performances. And later, if you dare, embark on the haunted Crypt Walk, an adventure sure to send shivers down your spine. From here groups may choose to make their way to the Chapel of the Dead to our spook-tacular selfie station and photo booth!
For those Monster-Mashers, the Kings Magasin will host a DJ’d Dance, that will keep the witches grooving and the warlocks moving! Moreover, if you are one bold of heart and looking to connect with the other side, seek guidance from tarot card readers and mediums and unlock the mysteries that lie beyond the veil.
