The festivities commenced at 5:30 PM with an exclusive VIP party held at the chic BEI Hotel, just a short two-minute walk from the iconic Orpheum Theater. Attendees were greeted by a red carpet entrance, setting the tone for an evening of elegance and excitement.

Guests mingled in a vibrant atmosphere, savoring handcrafted cocktails, gourmet bites, and lively tunes. The venue buzzed with themed photo opportunities, offering fans a chance to showcase their creative outfits inspired by their favorite witches.
