24th Annual Mad Hatter Ball, "Secrets of the Sunken Kingdom"

This October, we’re setting sail in search of a forgotten kingdom beneath the sea.
The 24th Annual Mad Hatter Ball returns to the Historic 1886 Crescent Hotel on Friday, October 16th, and this year, we’re diving into the Secrets of the Sunken Kingdom!
Pull together your best underwater look (and don’t forget the hat)! Pirates, mermaids, sailors, sirens, sea captains, creatures of the deep, lost royalty, shipwrecked explorers... if it belongs on the sea, under the sea, or somewhere in a story about the sea, it belongs at this year’s Mad Hatter Ball.
The evening starts with drinks and time to browse and bid on original art before dinner. DJ Testube will keep the music going throughout the night, with dancing, the Hat Contest, and plenty happening right up until the auction and contest close.
The Mad Hatter Ball is ESSA’s biggest fundraiser of the year, with proceeds supporting arts education, scholarships, artist residencies, and creative programming at the Eureka Springs School of the Arts.
If you’ve never been to the Mad Hatter Ball, this is the year to see what you’ve been missing.
Gather your crew, get those hats ready, and meet us at the Crescent on October 16th!
