Saturday night, following the Fashion Parade on the Main Stage, the Sapphire Pavilion marquee will host the annual Goblin King’s masquerade. A mixture of fae, vampires, cultists, humans, and other creatures will congregate in the giant Sapphire Pavilion marquee tent to dance the night away to the enchantingly haunted playlists of DJ Scary Lady Sarah and DJ Zophiel.
The Goblin King Costume Contest
Can the Goblin King can create mirror image illusions of himself? Can he simply turn invisible? Will decoys be summoned to protect the monarch? Will a Jareth decoy seize the throne?
Further details about contest conditions coming soon.
The Masquerade DJs
For your dancing pleasure we have two amazing DJs with playlists that will fill you with “dance magic.”
Scary Lady Sarah passionately enjoys & promotes good, new, dark alternative music. Since 1988 she has been a nightclub DJ, also booking bands and producing club events. Her main event is NOCTURNA, an 18+ dark alternative dance night held once every 6 – 8 weeks in Chicago at the venerated establishment Metro, and is the longest running goth event in North America.
Zophiel has over 20 years’ experience as a DJ, particularly for Goth, hafla, and 80s-loving audiences. He has presented music for dances at such events as Convergence, Dragon Con, Unconvention, and COGS. His sets have been heard in Philadelphia, Detroit, and Las Vegas – to name just a few cities. A stage play in development makes mention of Zophiel’s practice of using every song in a set to tell a story, so even if you don’t dance there may be something in it for you.
