AddamsFest 2026 Masquerade Ball

This year’s ball is not part of the official monthly celebration of Westfield’s native son. Instead, it is billed as a “Friends of AddamsFest” event. Simply stated, it pays homage to the “creepy, spooky” vibe of Charles Addams’ most popular creation with approval from the official festival organizers.

“Totality: an Eclipse Masquerade” offers guests a special night to dress to the nines and pretend to be whomever they wish courtesy of the mask they place upon their face. Dress codes are strictly enforced. Your $125 ticket includes a fabulous dining experience, cocktails (open bar), dancing, tons of entertainment, and much more. Organizers promise a surprise or two for those who attend.

Ticket Info

Tickets are currently available. However, they are limited. So you must hurry if you wish to be a part of this fabulous event. They cost $125 per person (plus tax).
