Glen Foerd presents its 2026 Masquerade Ball, A Carnival of Curiosities, on Oct. 30, 2026.
Glen Foerd's annual Masquerade Ball returns Friday, Oct. 30, transforming the historic Delaware River estate into a Carnival of Curiosities inspired by classic traveling carnivals and old-fashioned sideshows.
The event fills the Gilded Age mansion and its grounds with live performances throughout the evening. Fire dancers, contortionists, jugglers, tarot readers, sword swallowers and other roaming performers will appear across the estate.
The evening includes a seated dinner, a full open bar, live music by the West Philadelphia Orchestra, dancing, silent and live auctions, exclusive after-hours access to the mansion and grounds, and an after-party in the historic Rathskeller.
Masquerade attire is encouraged, with costumes inspired by vintage carnivals, theatrical elegance or gothic glamour. Masks also are encouraged.
General admission tickets are $250 per person and go on sale Tuesday, Sept. 1. Admission includes the after-party, and complimentary valet parking is provided.
Proceeds from the event support Glen Foerd's arts, environmental and educational programs, community outreach initiatives, and preservation of the historic estate.
