Halloween Ball
Hawthorne's Lot:
Misery Loves Company
Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration. The rest of us just get up and go to work. ~ Stephen King
What an amazing show of creativity and Halloween spirit at our annual Halloween costume ball on Saturday, October 26.
Thank you to all of the 700+ revelers who made our weekend so memorable.
Photos taken in front of the themed backdrop are available for you to download here: www.popinbooths.com.
Congratulations to our costume contest winners, this year voted on by event attendees:
- 1st place: Lloyd (bartender from the Shining)
- 2nd place: 19 Nods to Stephen King (how many references can you find?)
- 3rd place: Misery
- Honorable Mention: Sematary Spirits
If you have photos from the Ball that you would like to share with the hotel for our social media/website/marketing efforts, please send them to kpetty@hawthornehotel.com.
We have invited American Midnight, a local band, to headline the stage in the Ballroom on Saturday, October 25, 2025. Tickets will be available via eventbrite.com beginning June 1, 2025. We will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Hawthorne in 2025 so a trip to Salem is well worth planning!
Countdown to the 2025 Ball!
