What is the VMB . . .

It's a night of elegance, decadence, and prestige that is exclusively held one night a year in the city of Portland, OR. It's our local goth/industrial community's night to shine! Complete with regional vendors, dj's, performers, professional event photographers, and catering (cheeses, breads, meats, desserts,etc). The success of the prior six years with attendance now exceeding 800 will ensure the 7th Annual Vampire's Masquerade Ball will be sure to impress.

Using "vampire" in the name is meant to touch on dark romanticism, having an appreciation for all that we find beautiful in the gothic community. While this event is not put on by the vampire community itself, to date they have been very supportive and are very welcome to attend.

Being that this is a formal gothic/industrial event (and not to be confused for a costume party) the majority of attendees are of that subculture. The diversity this night encourages can be easily seen in the attire of those who attend. You will encounter individuals from such genres as romantic goth, death rock, fetish, corporate goth, industrial, victorian, edwardian, steam punk, etc. Although masks are encouraged, they are not required.

More updates to come soon during the month of October!!

Darkest Regards,

Historic Melody Ballroom

Over the previous years the VMB has been hosted within various ballrooms in Portland. The most recent two however, have been held at The Melody Ballroom. The interior itself is a perfect setting for the event both in size and style, additionally the consistent professionalism and kindness the staff have shown our community has been unmatched by any other venue. Built in 1925 the Grand Ballroom complete with 30' foot ceiling, red walls, edwardian trim, crystal chandeliers, and spacious stage is again a perfect setting for this elegant night. Might we also add that according to the owners and staff this beautiful space is also known to be haunted by a female apparition.
