Ghoulin Rouge: A Night of Sideshow, Drag, Burlesque & more!

Welcome to the Ghoulin Rouge, where Halloween never ends, and you can never be overdressed.

This May 9th, join us as haunting hosts guide your evening’s entertainment while sideshow performers bring a touch of Coney Island upstate with stunning feats. The Vaudeville on the Rocks duo bring tricks and treats, with everything from sword swallowing and belly dance to fire stunts and unexpected tricks with sharp objects.

Drag and burlesque bring a feast for the eyes that scares and seduces, and surprise variety acts await the curious.

Mingle and indulge in earthly delights before the show, while showing off your most inspired looks—try your luck in the costume/best-dressed contest for a chance to win a prize. That sequined vampire cloak you never get to wear? High heeled clown shoes? Bring it on.

After the show, stay and dance the night away as we celebrate embracing the weird—if you dare.
