Scheduled for October 11, 2025, the Savannah Vampire Ball VI returns to cast a dark yet inviting spell over coastal Georgia. The ball, produced by Markster Con and part of the Savannah Vampires weekend, takes place at Debellation Brewing Co in Richmond Hill just outside Savannah. This intimate brewery at 822 Longwood Drive transforms into a gothic playground where grown-up creatures of the night converge to dance, drink and celebrate. The event is strictly 21+ and invites fans of vampire lore, steampunk, and macabre elegance to don their most elaborate costumes and immerse themselves in an evening of music, art and community.

Now in its sixth year, the Savannah Vampire Ball has evolved from a small gathering into a full weekend of events. In 2024 organisers added a separate bar crawl, and in 2025 they will once again begin the weekend with the Vampire Bar Crawl on Friday, October 10. Participants will roam through Savannah's historic district, stopping at taverns and pubs known for their character and charm while meeting fellow fans of the gothic aesthetic. The bar crawl serves as a prelude to Saturday’s main event and gives visitors a chance to explore the city and make new friends before the ball.

At the heart of the weekend lies the ball itself. Doors open at 8 p.m. on October 11 and the festivities continue late into the night. Ticket holders receive a drink ticket good for a beer or glass of wine and early birds will also receive an exclusive bat necklace that has become a collector's item for regular attendees【529006588139461†L50-L106】. The ball features a sprawling dance floor with DJs spinning everything from darkwave and industrial beats to gothic rock and modern remixes. Roaming photographers capture portraits of elegantly dressed guests against themed backdrops, ensuring everyone goes home with memories. Throughout the venue a carefully curated market of vendors offers jewellery, clothing, art and accessories that cater to gothic and alternative tastes. Attendees can browse at their leisure while enjoying signature cocktails crafted to fit the vampiric theme.

Community and charity are integral parts of the Savannah Vampire Ball. Organisers partner with local non-profit Emmaus House, which operates a community kitchen and provides support services to people experiencing homelessness. Guests are encouraged to bring canned goods to donate, and a portion of ticket sales helps fund these programs【529006588139461†L50-L106】. This philanthropic component means that the night’s revelry also benefits the broader Savannah community. The ball also serves as a safe and inclusive space for lgbtq+Q+ attendees and allies. Although not exclusively an lgbtq+Q+ event, it welcomes people from all walks of life and celebrates diversity and self-expression.

The event's 2025 location, Debellation Brewing Co, offers ample indoor and outdoor space. Known for its award-winning craft beers, the brewery provides a relaxed yet atmospheric setting with high ceilings, industrial décor, and an expansive beer garden. It is located about 25 minutes southwest of downtown Savannah; ride-share services are available and there is free onsite parking for designated drivers. For travellers planning a weekend trip, staying in Savannah’s historic district provides access to the bar crawl and easy transportation to the brewery. Since October is a popular time to visit the city, it is wise to book lodging early and look beyond mainstream booking platforms. Savannah’s bed-and-breakfasts, boutique hotels and vacation rentals often fill quickly during festival weekends.

Tickets to the Savannah Vampire Ball VI are expected to sell out. In addition to general admission, organisers typically offer VIP packages that may include early entry, reserved seating and additional drink tokens. The “Early Bloodsucker” tickets come with the complimentary bat necklace; once these tiers sell out, attendees may still purchase general admission at a higher price. All guests must be 21 or older and present a valid ID at the door. The event is not a seated dinner; instead, food vendors and food trucks will be on site offering savoury dishes, desserts and vegetarian options to fuel dancers through the night.

One of the ball’s highlights is the costume contest. Attendees are encouraged to embrace the vampire theme by wearing Victorian gowns, corsets, capes, fangs and dramatic makeup. Many draw inspiration from literature, film and pop culture or invent their own characters. Judges wander the dance floor and vendor spaces to spot standout ensembles before crowning a Vampire King and Queen during a midnight ceremony【529006588139461†L50-L106】. Creativity and commitment to the theme are celebrated more than strict historical accuracy, so guests can mix eras and genres to express their dark imaginations. The inclusive environment also ensures that people who prefer minimalist or comfortable attire still feel welcome; what matters most is respect for others and the spirit of fun.

Friday’s Vampire Bar Crawl, held on October 10, offers a more casual introduction to the weekend. Participants receive a map of participating bars and clubs in Savannah’s historic core. Many establishments create custom cocktails or food specials with macabre names, and costumed hosts keep the energy high. The crawl ends with an after-party, allowing participants to rest up before the ball. Some visitors use the day to explore Savannah’s haunted history tours, art galleries and parks, making a full vacation out of the weekend.

The Savannah Vampire Ball VI thrives on its blend of entertainment and community. It draws locals and out-of-town guests who appreciate gothic culture, Halloween aesthetics and friendly camaraderie. Its producers, Markster Con, are known for immersive themed events across the southeastern United States; their attention to detail and dedication to charitable causes have helped the ball gain a reputation as one of the region’s best nightlife experiences. Whether you’re a long-time vampire enthusiast, a curious newcomer to the alternative scene or a traveller seeking a unique evening out, the 2025 ball offers an unforgettable night of music, fashion and philanthropy.
