Tortured Hearts Ball – February 21, 2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019re invited to this celebration of the bizarre and exotic, our ode to the bitter and the lonely, the bound and the broken, at a fantasy masquerade almost too bold for San Diego.<\/p>\n

Expect two DJ dance spaces with a variety of melodies, a ballroom dance hall, specialty vendors, a karaoke salon, a hidden speakeasy, side quests, a gaming den, a performance room, and more secrets to be revealed soon!<\/p>\n

Be engrossed in our demented world inspired by your most beautiful nightmares. Have a front row seat to peculiarly rare entertainment and performances. Acquire one-of-a-kind items from our specialty vendors. And satiate your morbid curiosity as you bask in the glorious fantasy of the Tortured Hearts Ball.<\/p>\n

Come in your masquerade finest.\u00a0Costumes are mandatory and necessary for entry<\/strong><\/em>. The requirement, however, is flexible, as a mask, costume, or anything thematically relevant for a masquerade ball is acceptable.<\/p>\n

Casual attire is not allowed and entry will be denied into the Dark Realm.<\/p>\n

This is a 18+ event only.<\/p>\n
