Come as yourself! There’s no dress code, so wear what makes you feel comfortable. You’ll see everything from business and cocktail attire to casual and creative styles.
Because this concert takes place the day before Halloween, costumes are welcome (and encouraged). It’s the perfect chance to get creative and dress up! We do ask that full-face masks and large props that could block someone’s view be left at home, as they are not permitted inside of the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts.
We ask all audience members to silence their phones before the performance begins. Photos and videos are prohibited, as light from screens can be distracting.
Snacks and drinks are sometimes available for purchase before the concert and during intermission. Alcoholic beverages are available for guests 21+ with a valid ID. We recommend dining before the show; check out our interactive map for nearby hotels, restaurants, and parking options.
