Hawthorne Hotel's Halloween Ball

2025 Theme: A Vintage Halloween

Pay homage to the hotel’s 100^th anniversary with an unforgettable evening of eerie elegance and vintage oddity. This year's theme will transport you into the bizarre – yet beautiful – traditions of the 1920s to see just how much Halloween has changed in 100 years. In the past, Halloween enthusiasts made do with what they had on-hand, including pumpkins, gourds and paper cutouts. But - spoiler alert: most costumes used to be terrifying

Experience live music, interactive attractions, and a costume contest across three floors of the historic hotel. Enjoy stationed hors d'oeuvres, a cash bar, and themed photo backdrops perfect for capturing memories. Whether you embody Stephen King's eerie universe or opt for your own costume, join us for New England's premier Halloween event since 1990. Dance, mingle, and revel in the spooky festivities at this iconic Salem celebration.
