Looking for a good spook this Saturday without the gratuitous gore and debauchery found at so many Halloween parties? Have your hair stand on end at the Congressional Cemetery’s annual Ghosts and Goblets Soiree, where tricks and treats abound for history buffs… and those looking to celebrate the holiday with fellow Washingtonians long departed.
Looking for a good spook this Saturday without the gratuitous gore and debauchery found at so many Halloween parties? Have your hair stand on end at the Congressional Cemetery’s annual Ghosts and Goblets Soiree, where tricks and treats abound for history buffs… and those looking to celebrate the holiday with fellow Washingtonians long departed.
Before the bones, there are bites and beverages. As its name suggests, Ghosts and Goblets offers a fair share of libations as well as tasty treats provided by the restaurants of Barracks Row. Then, while sipping your cider, guests embark on a haunting lantern tour of the capital’s most illustrious graveyard — as actors (portraying some of the more colorful characters RIP’ing there) greet you by their tombs and tell you their stories.
Beware: the centuries old cemetery, now the haunted home of more than a few presidents, members of congress, and other figures from the annals of American politics, also churns out spooky sounds from its historic chapel organ.
Sound so chilling you’re turning chicken?? Don’t let those goosebumps get to you. The evening is more fun than frightful — and totally appropriate for the young… and young at heart. Tickets are $ 75 per person.
