Dress to impress. The sprit of the Masquerade Ball is to dress up in elegant mystery. Some history of the Masquerade: They were generally elaborate dances held for members of the upper classes, and were particularly popular in Venice. Masquerade balls were sometimes set as a game among the guests. The masked guests were supposedly dressed so as to be unidentifiable. This would create a type of game to see if a guest could determine each other’s identities. This added a humorous effect to many masquerades and enabled a more enjoyable version of typical balls. When the city’s elite members would want to go out and cut loose, a Masquerade was a great way to avoid the paparazzi! The Conniption Fits wholeheartedly embrace the tradition of the Masquerade and encourage you to get as elaborate as you desire. Over the past 10 years this event has grown to be our most popular show! Get ready for a great night of like-minded party goers.
