Sharpen your fangs, tighten those corsets and don your most dapper attire as you prepare to immerse yourself in the revelry of Shannon McCabe’s 16th Annual Vampire Ball, taking up both Harlow’s and the Starlet Room. This year’s enchanting theme is “A Night in Versailles,” which blends the elegance of “Bridgerton” with the allure of vampires, promising an evening of unforgettable entertainment. 

Experience dazzling fire dancing and burlesque performances by Starlet O’Hara and Sugar Cheeks, live music from DJ Bryan Hawk, the Katie Knipp Band, A Death In Bloom and more. Guests can sip on a variety of specialty vampire cocktails and eye the opulent decor from Harlow’s outdoor patio featuring a full bar and cozy fires. The atmosphere will be nothing short of magical as the dress code calls for regency, Victorian, gothic and baroque styles — no street clothes allowed. So embrace the theme and dive into an extraordinary night filled with glamour and gothic charm. Harlow’s and The Starlet Room, 2708 J St.; doors at 7:30 p.m.; starting at $48.47; 21 and over.
