Tickets do sell out fast so buy yours today!

Event Details:

Please note that we take the safety of our guests seriously. Assisting the hotel’s management team the night of the event are private security, police details and a fire marshal. Upon entering the building we will ask for your ID (no exceptions), check bags, and scan you with a metal detector. Wrist bands will then be given out. Backpacks, real and fake weapons, alcohol, and outside food and drinks of any kind are not permitted inside the hotel. Please leave them at home or in your vehicle. The Hawthorne Hotel is a non-smoking building. Wrist bands will allow you to re-enter the event. Cash bars (credit cards accepted) will be located on each level.

Costume Details:

This is a costume party. You may wish to follow our theme, The H Files, or select a costume completely unrelated. A panel of judges will award prizes for Best Theme and Best Non-Theme costumes. Please refrain from incorporating real or fake weapons into your costumes, as these will not be allowed in the building. Also remember that this event draws upwards of 800 people, so you want to be sure you are comfortable and able to move about the hotel. If unsure if your costume is appropriate, please call the hotel at 978-825-4337.

Ticket Details:

This is a ticketed event. Non-ticket holders will not be allowed entry to the hotel. Please note that tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable. This is a 21+ event.
