 ALL HALLOWS' BALL 

A Spirited Affair

November 1, 2025

Hearty Hors d’Oeuvres, Cash Bar, Music,  and Silent Auction

Join us for an enchanting evening of mystery, music, and celebration at our All Hallows' Ball. Step into the past at historic Salisbury House as we pay tribute to a time when Stephen Salisbury III hosted seasonal celebrations that brought together the city's most spirited citizens for culture, conversation, and candlelit revelry.

​

In that same spirit, we invite you to don your finest formal attire — costumes encouraged, masks admired, and celebrate Preservation Worcester-style.

​

Salisbury House will be transformed for one unforgettable night filled with dancing, seasonal fare, craft cocktails, and spirited company.
