Dayton's Party of Parties, Masquerage

Get ready to step into a world of myth and magic! Introducing the theme of this year's Masquerage: A Night On Olympus! Join us on October 14 for a night that will transport you to the realm of ancient Greek myth. 

The only event of its kind, Masquerage is Dayton’s "Party of Parties for a Cause." Sip on delicious craft cocktails, eat some small bites, bid on our Silent Auction items, and dance the night away with our DJ.  No official dress code - you can wear elaborate costumes, outfits to match the years’ theme, or anything that you feel confident in. 

Dayton’s Masquerage is an annual event which raises money for the life-saving working of Equitas Health's Dayton prevention & education programs. Since Masquerage’s inception in 2002, Masquerage has raised more than $1,250,000.
