A Night at the Castle - A Fancy Affair - The Ghosts of St. Augustine's Past -

What happens at the Castle when the lights go out?  Join us and find out! This unique, costumed event takes place in the historic Castle Warden in St. Augustine, Florida, home to the very first Ripley's Believe it or Not! Museum.  The Museum will be closed to the general public for this private event.

A Night at the Castle is a fancy, costumed affair celebrating 5 centuries of St. Augustine's historic fashion and folklore.  Costumes should represent any historic fashion relevant to the last 5 centuries of St. Augustine's history.  Styles can include Gilded Era, 1920s, 16th century Spanish, Historic Military, Rococo, Pirates, Steampunk and much more.  Creativity is encouraged. "Horror" themes are discouraged, however.  Costumed visitors will represent the many ghosts that are certain to linger in the oldest city - spanning 5 centuries.

Small bites, music, fancy sweets, soft drinks, champagne, beer and wine included.) Surprising entertainment at every turn. Mingle among the many oddities on display at the museum open only to our ticketed guests.  

A professional photographer will be on site to capture your creations. Costumes or fancy/cocktail attire is required.
