Dracula's Ball is first and foremost a party. The common thread that runs through all of our guests is the desire to have a good time in an unusual and exciting atmosphere. Some have a passionate affinity for vampires that has been part of their lives forever. Some have occasionally tuned in to an episode of True Blood or scanned the racy parts of an Anne Rice book. Whether you feel deeply drawn to vampires on a personal level, or you just think they're sexy or cool, we welcome you.
While our Halloween event is definitely the most anticipated Ball of the year, Dracula's Ball takes place every three months. It is held exclusively in Philadelphia and is the largest event of its kind in the country. The Ball has been held at a variety of venues around the city for over a decade.
Obviously, our party has a strong vampiric theme. We do our best to create an atmosphere that suggests dark romance, a hint of danger, sensuality, and all things nocturnal. We do not promote nor do we allow the drinking of blood or any other unsafe practices at our events.
Our patrons come from all over the country and sometimes overseas. Typically, almost half of our patrons are from at least 100 miles away from Philadelphia. Our guests are a diverse group, representing a wide range of ethnicities, religions, orientations, ages, and lifestyles. Vampire legends are universal and cross all boundaries; so it is with the Ball as well. From Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi to Twilight and True Blood, whether your interest in vampires is casual or serious, newly-found or long-running, there's a place for you at Dracula's Ball
Yeah I went to the event on last Halloween and it was really a good time, I have to say.
Not so far, myself and my wife may go to make the fakes feel silly.
Miss SANG... perhaps we may meet at last, should be amusing!TFS.
We will definitly be there.
As usual tickets are available in person at Digital Ferret on 4th st. or online at isotank.com or ticketmaster.
Patrick is planning a ton of special stuff for this ball!
The bands for the next Dracula's Ball were just released.
Bella Morte and Ego Likeness.
More info can be seen at draculasball.com
haha not even sure I am going...it's possible I could go .... I went to the one on last halloween as I mentioned...
lol yay! we shall have fun. :) i am in need of it lately lol
I don't think DAG would want me to have another date!
But the two of us will be there and you are welcome to hang out with us.
I'll have to talk to Faeriemoon about this. It will be two days before I leave for another trip so time might be tight. We'll see.
She needs to test out her new car on the road :P
It's a real fun time :) I like Bella Morte so that may convince me to go to this one.
Dracula's Ball is a great time!
Has anyone actually been there before? Besides myself, MsSanguinarius and my sister (ExquisiteDiamond) that is.
You would love it! LOL You would have a ball at the ball!! It's always a good time! ^_^ ♥
looks like it would be a good time, to bad it is sooooo far from where i live
I might make plans to go to the summer ball. If not, definitely Halloween. I gotta get up to Philly anway, I miss my freakin family!! Plus I wanna go visit Sang ^_^
My Wife (DAG) and I have been to the Ball 12 times so far.
All but a few were great times. The Halloween ones, IMO, bring out too many posers and gawkers so we have avoided the last two.
One non Halloween one we really didn't get into as the "headline" band really didn't perform very well.
We have seen Ego Likeness and Bella Morte several times and neither will disapoint in their performance.
That and Donna Lynch is amazingly beautiful!
We will definitly be there.
And a note to Ms. Morrigon: I will be driving up to your neck of the woods the next afternoon. I already messaged Ms. FM about it. You know if you folks want to attend you have a place to stay.
Im from Phili but i live in nj rite now cuz i go 2 stockton. but DB is realy awesome! ive been 2 it many timez
