Guests are encouraged to come in masks to disguise their appearance, a way to celebrate the changing faces of the city and those in its past. The band nestled in the cathedral’s northern transept will play a succession of waltzes ideal for dancing in pairs or in groups; while the southern transept has a bar with mulled cider, punch, cognac, brandy, stout, and large barrels of wine.
The altar is covered with candles lit with crimson flame, with unused candles in a basket nearby, and a coffer for donations to benefit victims of the violence at FearFest. Guests are encouraged to take a candle and ignite it by speaking the name of a wayward or departed soul, and leave it and any other offerings at the altar.
As the evening progresses, guests may see what appear to be golden apparitions dancing in and out of sight, either a reflection of the strange light off the crystal glasses and chandeliers — or wayward souls drawn by the warmth of the celebration...
