On March 1st, 2025, the Hammond Castle Museum transformed into a breathtaking 15th-century Venetian dream for the unforgettable Masquerade Ball of Dreams. And yes — Sassy Square was there to capture every magical moment!

Guests arrived under the glow of fire juggling, crossing the drawbridge into a candlelit evening of opulence. Inside the Great Hall, a string quartet filled the air with the classics — Vivaldi, Mozart, and Beethoven — while a roving harpist enchanted every corner of the Castle with Italian melodies.

The night was nothing short of spectacular: elaborate masks, flowing gowns, and live performances that mesmerized — including a contortionist, stilt walker, and juggler. Guests sipped on signature cocktails and champagne, enjoyed hors d’oeuvres and decadent desserts designed by Sugar Magnolias, and danced the night away under vaulted ceilings and ancient stone.

For those in the VIP Lounge or the ultra-exclusive Private Dining Room, the experience reached new levels of luxury — with private bar service, a champagne fountain, and artisan charcuterie selections served at Hammond’s original 16th-century table.

🎭 This 21+ event wasn’t just a party — it was a journey back in time, blending elegance, mystery, and fantasy, all in support of the Hammond Castle Museum’s preservation efforts.
