Welcome the Witching Season: Veil of the Raven MasqueradeHosted by: Herb & Smudge Apothecary
Location: 201 26th Street (Across from the Railroad Museum)
Date: Saturday, October 17, 2026
Welcome the Witching Season
As October twilight deepens and the veil between worlds thins, we gather at Herb & Smudge Apothecary to welcome the witching season under the shroud of a grand autumn masquerade. This sacred time marks a portal of transition, mystery, and community revelry—a day to conceal everyday faces, browse our botanical sanctuary, and step into shadow.
To honor this magical threshold, we invite you to put on your finest mask and step into Veil of the Raven: A Gothic Autumn Masquerade. Bring a dish to share, conceal your identity, and gather with us for an afternoon of feast, dance, and community spirit. As part of this seasonal gathering, we are also honored to raise funds during the event for a beloved local treasure: The Spellbound Dancing Witches!
Masquerade Entry & Mask Guidelines
Unveil Your October Vibe!
Masks are required to cross the threshold, but there are no strict rules—get creative and show off your personal masquerade style! Whether you wear sleek black lace, ornate Victorian filigree, feathered raven creations, or macabre skulls, all masks are welcome.
