80s Vibes Hit SMSC’s Secret Garden Party

St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center is throwing the most radical Halloween bash of the year, Spookeasy, transforming their secret garden into an 80s-themed speakeasy that’ll have you moonwalking through haunted paths and grooving to retro beats.

 St. Madeleine Sophie's Center

This isn’t your average Halloween party—we’re talking a full-on 80s revival in SMSC’s mysterious two-acre campus. Follow the spooky trail through their enchanted gardens, where goblins and ghouls are waiting to guide you into a nostalgic nightmare (the good kind, of course).

Party Like it’s 1985

Local legends BETTAMAXX are bringing the heat with live 80s bangers all night long. Between sets, feast on late-night treats like made-to-order tacos and bacon-wrapped hot dogs while sipping on some seriously creative cocktails. And for our VIP friends? There’s a premium bar with your name on it.

Get Your Freak On

Break out those leg warmers and tease that hair to the heavens—there’s a costume contest that’ll reward the most totally tubular looks of the night. Plus, channel your inner Goonies with an epic scavenger hunt through this haunted paradise. Don’t forget to strike a pose at their cool photo spots!

Good Times, Great Cause

While you’re living your best 80s life, you’re also supporting SMSC’s incredible programs. Every ticket helps fund innovative services that empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to develop skills, independence, and creative outlets.

See you there!

The event takes place on Saturday, October 26, from 6:30 PM to 10 PM at St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center’s secret garden. Spookeasy tickets start at $75 and include all entertainment, food, and drinks. Secure your spot here.

See you there, San Diego!
