Get your glow on! St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center is bringing back Spookeasy: Blackout Party—a neon-filled, haunted Halloween bash with craft cocktails, live DJ, costume contests, and spooky surprises.
The annual Spookeasy returns on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 6:30 to 10 p.m., taking over the hidden gardens of SMSC’s five-acre campus in El Cajon. Guests will step into a glowing, speakeasy world, filled with blacklight thrills, haunted trails, and vibrant photo opportunities around every corner. A live DJ keeps the dance floor alive, while unlimited craft cocktails and gourmet bites keep everyone fueled for a night of neon fun. Brave the haunted scavenger hunt, explore spooky corners, and don your boldest glow-in-the-dark look for a chance to win the costume contest.
The evening also includes live and silent auctions, a premium cigar bar, and VIP experiences with early entry, private lounge access, and top-shelf drinks. Tickets start at $39, with everything from food to entertainment included. This is a strictly 21-and-up event.
Beyond the thrills, the party supports a truly meaningful cause. SMSC is a nonprofit in El Cajon that empowers individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. For tickets and more information, visit spookeasy.org.
