Certificate for 2 tickets to the 25th anniversary celebration of the Hawthorne Hotel's famous Halloween Party on October 30, 2015.

It is the 25th Anniversary of Hawthorne's annual Halloween Party, and this year's theme, "A Night to Dismember," will celebrate classic horror.

Our Halloween Ball is a themed costume event, held annually at the Hawthorne Hotel.  It is the biggest, best party in Salem, which is the Halloween Capital of the World.  Even Reuter's News Service said Hawthorne's Ball is THE NUMBER ONE thing to do in Salem for Haunted Happenings.

Everyone comes in costume.  They decorate the entire public space of the hotel for the party in the theme of the ball.  There is a contest to determine which department of the hotel wins the decorating contest.  This contest is judged by our celebrity judges who get to come early.

The judges also determine who gets to participate in the costume contest and who will win cash prizes for best costume in several categories.

Dance the night away to the Band in the Ballroom, and DJs in the Library.

There will be tables of food, and servers passing all manner of hors d'oeuvres all night long.  There will be cash bars and beer buckets everywhere.

There will be set-ups for photography, and photographers taking your photos with the hotel's compliments.  They will be available digitally with no additional cost.

And at the end of the night each guest will receive a souvenir tee-shirt with the ball logo on it -- certainly to become a collector's item, or a great nightshirt!

Please call the General Manager at 978-825-4300 no later than October 1 (tickets go on sale in July) to exchange the original certificate for two tickets.  Tickets sell out quickly.
