Glen Foerd's annual Masquerade Ball returns Friday, Oct. 30, transforming the historic Delaware River estate into a Carnival of Curiosities inspired by classic traveling carnivals and old-fashioned sideshows. The event fills the Gilded Age mansion and its grounds with live performances throughout the evening. Masquerade attire is encouraged, with costumes inspired by vintage carnivals, theatrical elegance or gothic glamour. Proceeds from the event support Glen Foerd's arts, environmental and educational programs, community outreach initiatives, and preservation of the historic estate. Tickets go on sale Sept. 1.
