The weekend unfolds below.
Friday • September 25, 2026
5PM • True Crime Tour • Salem
Wander through the haunted streets of Salem alongside fellow vampires as the Endless Night weekend begins to take shape.
Led by Salem local historian and fellow vampire Sarah Black, this 90-minute walking tour explores the city through a darker lens, focusing on true crime, local history, and the stories that still linger in the shadows.
Before the music, the ballroom, and the midnight cruise, the weekend begins on foot, moving through the streets that made Salem infamous.
9PM • Salon Noir
Official Kickoff Gathering • Boat Cruise • Hannah Glover, Salem MA
Defined by its dramatic all-black dress code, Salon Noir opens the Endless Night weekend on Friday, September 25 with an evening cruise through Salem aboard the Hannah Glover.
Chartered for a three-hour voyage from 9 PM to midnight, the Hannah Glover gives the night a setting unlike any other event of the weekend. Guests will move between two levels of the boat, with a heated indoor cabin, open-air deck, full bar, dance floor, and music by DJ Changeling as Salem Harbor disappears into the dark.
Salon Noirs trade the scale of the Vampire Ball for something slower, darker, and far more intimate. This is where the weekend begins to gather before the spectacle of Saturday night.
All black. On the water. After dark.
Saturday • September 26, 2026
(Daytime Suggestion) Hop-On / Hop-Off Boston Trolley Pass
Explore Boston by day as the city prepares for the Vampire Ball after dark.
From historic neighborhoods and hidden corners to the waterfront and downtown streets, the trolley experience offers guests a relaxed way to move through the city throughout the afternoon before the evening’s events begin.
9AM–6PM • The Endless Night Boston Hunt
Scavenger Hunt in the City
Before the energy of the Vampire Ball gathers inside the Royale, the hunt begins elsewhere.
Guests are invited into a local Boston scavenger hunt built around hidden clues and popular sites. Follow the trail through Boston, complete the tasks, and one lucky participant will be selected to receive two coveted seats inside the VIV Box later that evening at the Vampire Ball.
Vamp Tip: Schedule High Tea at the Boston Public Library in advance!. Sip sip, Vamps!
8PM • Endless Night Boston Vampire Ball
The Royale • Boston
Welcome to the Main Event of the weekend. Join us, as Endless Night transforms the historic Royale into a world of vampire theater, dark elegance, live music, spectacle, and over-the-top vampire decadence.
Throughout the evening, the ballroom comes alive through immersive performances, aerialists, burlesque, gothic fashion, candlelit atmosphere, and the energy of darkwave and industrial music from live headliner MATTE BLVCK alongside Endless Night resident DJs Matt V Christ and Erik Aengel as the night builds toward the legendary Midnight Cirque.
See you at the Ball.
Sunday • September 27, 2026

8PM • Vampire Lounge
Longboards Upstairs • Salem
Close out the Endless Night weekend at Salem’s elevated goth night: Vampire Lounge.
Built around dark music, dancing, and Vampire Vibes, the Lounge brings together Vampire Resident DJ Changeling and Guest DJ Vampyrian, alongside familiar faces from the local community and Endless Night family for one final gathering before the weekend disappears back into the shadows.
From goth casual to formal vampire attire, guests are invited to settle into the music, the atmosphere, and the energy that has made Vampire Lounge one of Salem’s defining after-dark gatherings.
