Fangs and Fire
A collaboration between VAMPA Museum and TileWorks
October 17th 5:00PM $175
As dusk settles over the historic grounds of TileWorks, the gates open to an evening where masks conceal identities, fire illuminates ancient rituals, and legends walk among us.
Fangs & Fire is an immersive gothic masquerade that blends theatrical storytelling, live performance, fire artistry, music, handcrafted experiences, and unforgettable moments into one extraordinary night.
Your evening unfolds in five immersive acts…
ACT I — THE AWAKENING
Don your mask and cross the threshold into a hidden world. Wander through the masquerade, discover artisan vendors, enjoy food and cocktails, and encounter mysterious figures who have been waiting for your arrival.
ACT II — THE GATHERING
As darkness falls, the masquerade comes alive. Live music fills the air, performers emerge from the shadows, and guests become part of the night’s unfolding story.
ACT III — THE MASQUERADE
The moment the night has been building toward. Preregistered costume contestants - the most daring, the most magnificent, the most darkly inspired- take their place at the heart of the evening as they become the Grand Procession itself. They do not watch the spectacle; they are the spectacle. Gliding through the grounds in full regalia, guided by the commanding presence of the Master of the Masquerade, they are seen, celebrated, and judged. The crowd bears witness and the night holds its breath. Who will be this year's Keeper of the Shadows?
ACT IV — CEREMONIAL BRONZE POUR
One name is called. The honored guest emerges from the darkness, marked not only by applause, but immortalized in flame. The ceremonial stage is transformed into a breathtaking fusion of fire artistry and living ritual, where a single moment becomes legend. There is no greater crown than one forged in flame.
ACT V — THE ETERNAL NIGHT
Dance beneath the stars with DJ Mike Saga and DJ Miss Chloe as they take command of the floor, spinning a set that is dark, seductive, and relentless. Celebrate the winners of the masquerade, and experience one final fire performance before the gates close until next year.

Gothic elegance, masks, and vampiric looks are strongly encouraged.
