The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Black Tie & Costume Ball 

 

Prepare for an evening where elegance entwines with enchantment at our Black Tie & Costume Ball, inspired by The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. This immersive experience promises opulent revelry, delectable tastes, and captivating entertainment. 

 

Your adventure begins at the North Carolina History Center, where parking is available. From there, you'll embark on a moonlit trolley ride to Tryon Palace. Ghostly characters will greet you at the gate, guiding you to the inner courtyard where you'll meet your ghostly guide. Your guide will lead you through the Tryon Palace grounds, sharing spectral tales as you make your way to the South Lawn. Here, amidst breathtaking river views, you'll be serenaded by the enchanted melodies of Alisa Mike. Indulge in a lavish spread of heavy hors d'oeuvres by The Flame and enjoy a signature cocktail, with additional beverages available at the cash bar by Sassy Spirits. Don't miss the opportunity for photo ops on one of New Bern's most picturesque grounds! 

 

As the cocktail reception concludes, your ghostly guide will escort you through the Metcalfe Gate to the North Carolina History Center. Prepare to be spellbound as you're greeted on the street by a flame thrower or the Headless Horseman! Multiple check-in points ensure a smooth arrival, and a dazzling champagne wall will set the celebratory mood. Inside, the sounds of the Senior Moments Band will fill the hall. Browse our enticing silent auction items and enjoy two cash bars. A delectable plated salad will kick off your culinary journey, followed by entrees that will delight your palate by The Flame, culminating in a truly show-stopping dessert. 

 

The evening's program, expertly emceed by Master of Ceremonies Donnie Cox of WCTI, will feature an exciting live auction. As the program winds down, we'll move outdoors, where you'll dance the night away under the stars with the vibrant sounds of Bridge Atlantic. 

 

This is more than just a ball; it's an immersive theatrical experience designed to transport you to the mysterious world of Sleepy Hollow. We can't wait to share this enchanting night with you!
