On Thursday, October 20th, join Big Class at the Felicity Church for A Dark and Stormy Night. Tickets available here.
This one-of-a-kind Halloween literary costume and cocktail party will center around a ghost story cocktail contest and feature all sorts of spooky surprises.
A Dark and Stormy Night benefits Big Class’s programs that help young people become published authors with the support of caring volunteers, building their toolbox of literacy skills and boosting their confidence in the process. Last year, A Dark and Stormy Night was a raging success, named one of NOLA.com’s 11 Best Parties of 2015.
