The Ice Palace · Cherry Grove
The last ferry of the costume year. Walks, the Palace, and a town that treats Halloween as a civic holiday — not a theme night.
Tickets when posted
Watch Red Eye and the Palace list in October. Ferries thin after Columbus — check the board.
Tickets are sold by the venues — Ice Palace via Red Eye, Doll Invasion on RA, FIT Fest via CHANGE Arts. This guide does not take payment. A held pre-sale is a reminder on this device, not a reserved seat. The calendar file carries the description, the event page, and the ticket URL so it survives the import.
