All Hallows’ is one of the region’s longest-running traditions, a private and by-invitation-only costume party thrown almost every year since 1981. A small group of organizers hosts this gathering. The group’s figurehead “Casper” communicates directly with guests in writing as each event draws closer, providing important details like that year’s theme. In 2020 and 2021, amidst the height of the pandemic, that included sharing news that the events were canceled. Casper announced All Hallows’ return in June, asking guests to save the Oct. 22 date and teasing this year’s theme. Invitations were mailed in early September, revealing it as “Carnivale: Celebrating the Peculiar.”
