KOSTUME KULT PRESENTS:
Horned Ball 2025
~ KRYPTIDS ~
🗓 Saturday, March 1st
⏰ 9PM to 5AM
📍 3 DOLLAR BILL, 260 Meserole Street, Bushwick BK
🦌✨ Calling all horned, hoofed, and half-glimpsed creatures of the night!✨🦌
From the misty woods of legend to the shadowy corners of the dance floor, Springtime is blooming and the time has come to emerge! Are you a Unique Unicorn? A Saucy Sasquatch? A Landlocked Loch Ness Monster? Or something no mortal has dared to name? This is your night!
🌙 THEME: KRYPTIDS 🌙
For one magical evening, we gather the unseen, the unexplained, the unreasonably fabulous. Slap on some horns, shake off your mortal disguise, and prepare to dance like you’ve just been spotted on a blurry trail cam!… Wear… HORNS! Big ones, little ones, glowing ones—twisted, tangled, or towering. And don’t stop there! Feathers, fur, scales, wings… be the legendary beast you were always meant to be! Summon your cute and creepy cryptid crew and let’s make the folklore REAL.

ABOUT HORNED BALL & KOSTUME KULT 🦄
Horned Ball is the longest-running event of Kostume Kult, a non-profit association supporting costume art, street theater, and big fun while bringing wonderful people together. Horned Ball #21 is a fantastical springtime bacchanal and Burning Man project fundraiser where the animals shake off winter slumber with much art, interactive activities, and dancing in multiple rooms. All KK events are participatory theater where the guests are the players and we encourage all artistic license that makes things more fun or ridiculous. Get involved, join us at kostumekult.com/join/
COMMUNITY CODES
True to Burning Man’s 10 Principles: Kostume Kult is inclusive, welcoming the stranger and all those who dare to participate. Our events are safe spaces where we welcome new people while warning everyone to respect boundaries and ask first when photographing or flirting.
