Welcome to the Great Dracula Ball on Halloween!
20.00 Step into the legendary realm of Transylvania, on a cold night when we open the gates of this ancient estate only once a year—and you’re on the guest list. From the moment you arrive, you are invited to feast, laugh, dance and meet the other Infamous characters.
Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy complimentary snacks and an Open Bar (according to the menu - between 20.00-01.00 am), keeping spirits high—both figuratively and literally—as the citadel’s secrets unfold around you. The schedule includes an impressive ballet performance - Vampiresa Hunting, followed by a breathtaking magic show by Eduard and Bianca. Arguably the highlight of the evening is the Ritual of Killing of the Living Dead, performed by our team according to old customs and traditions.
