Event Theme: Winter Fire – Nocturne

This year, Winter Fire invites you to descend into the seductive world of Nocturne, where vampires walk among us and creatures of the night mingle freely with those who crave their touch. Our elegant 1920s-era hotel provides the perfect backdrop for a weekend of vintage glamour, dark romance, and decadent mystery. Whether you arrive as a vampire, a willing fang-banger, or in your favorite classic scene attire, you’ll find yourself right at home in our themed parties, mixers, and immersive nocturnal experiences. Step into the shadows, embrace the allure of the night, and discover the secrets waiting to be awakened.

Night’s Kiss: A Crimson Cabaret

When the sun slips below the horizon, the revelry begins.

Join our lustful underworld, where desire never dies and aerial immortals, rope revenants, bloody burlesque, and variety vixens beckon you to a lavish spectacle of temptation and power. Featuring the unique Twisted Windows blend of exquisitely erotic, sensually subversive, and distinctly daring queer performance art. Every shadow has teeth, every glance is an invitation, and every performer tells a story older than sin.

Enter freely. Drink deeply. The night has plans for you…
