Vampires’ Ball & Night Market

Enter a world of mystery, seduction, and elegance. For one night only, the long-hidden vampires of Mission Control emerge from the shadows of the Oakland Castle to host a decadent soiree for mortals and monsters alike. This is not a party for the faint of heart—it is a gathering of creatures who crave beauty, connection, and indulgence.

You need not be a vampire to attend, but you may leave feeling transformed.

BYOB[lood]

We do not serve alcohol—nor any mortal intoxicants—but you are welcome to bring your own spirits. A trusted sentinel will be on hand to safeguard your libations until you wish to indulge.

PAL System

To help keep this affair the safest, most consensual and as successful for everyone as possible, Mission Control’s PAL System is used. To attend, you MUST arrive & leave with a responsible partner, your “PAL” for the night. There's no need to be a couple, but you are both responsible for each other during the party.

COVID Safety & Incident Reporting

We encourage folks to have a COVID vaccination. You must bring a negative result from a same-day rapid test. For at-home tests, please name, date, timestamp the test result card and take a photo of it to present at time of entry. Masks are available at the door and we support people who wear them.

Important Notice: Please do not attend with any indication of having a fever, sore throat, or flu-like symptoms. A limited number of COVID rapid tests will be available at the door for purchase. Taking a test on site will require a wait of at least 15 minutes before entering the event.

We seek to create a space that is very safe and welcoming. Please reach out to a host ASAP if anyone makes you feel uncomfortable or there are incidents to report. You can also fill out the host contact form for any reason here: https://forms.gle/6gsqzFv8utJ1jw5N6

We await your presence in the shadows.
