Witches and wizards, goblins and ghouls, it’s time to get ready for our Halloween Spooktacular!
Join us on October 28th from 7 – 11 PM at the Fairlington Presbyterian Church, 3846 King St. Alexandria, VA 22302. Everyone 16 and over is welcome.
Step into an evening full of devilishly good fun, unexpected surprises, and otherworldly treats. Tickets include food, drinks, Halloween candy (d’oh, of course), plus an option to take a spin in an authentic DeLorean (yes, just like the one in Back to the Future!!) silent disco*, and more.
We will have two DeLoreans on site to ride in and two to take photos with. The first 20 people to sign up are guaranteed a ride. Additional rides will be offered first come, first served during the event.
Costumes are optional but highly encouraged. Who knows, you may win a prize…!😉
PRICE: [SOLD OUT] $30 early bird rate, $35 (purchased after October 17th) – All proceeds benefit programming for adults with disabilities.
NOTE: DeLorean ride is separate from ticketing, reserve your ride by clicking this link below:
DELOREAN RIDE SIGN UP – one rider per time slot
*For those not in the know, silent disco is where people dance to music they listen to on wireless headphones that we provide. Rather than using a speaker system, music is broadcast via a radio transmitter with the signal being picked up by wireless headphone receivers worn by the participants. This gives people the freedom to listen to whatever music genre they prefer instead of having to listen to songs or music they don’t like. If people want to dance they can, and if they don’t, that’s fine, too. Whatever makes them happy!
ACCESSIBILITY: Please note that due to essential construction work taking place at Fairlington Presbyterian Church, people with mobility issues will not be able to access the party. We’re extremely sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and hope that no one will be disappointed on the night.
Every first Wednesday night of the month, the Queens Court community and Our Stomping Ground are gathering together and heading to the restaurant of the group’s choosing. For October we’ll head to Saigon Noodles and Grill.
