Compton’s Table is bringing a little gothic glamour to Erie tonight, all for a good cause, with its “Crimson and Velvet” Halloween Gala.

Guests are embracing a black-tie dress code with a gothic twist, creating an atmosphere organizers describe as something straight out of Dracula’s grand ball.

The evening includes food, a cash bar, live entertainment, and a dance party to close out the night.

A special guest is also taking the stage. Latrice Royale, known for appearing on RuPaul’s Drag Race, is performing at the gala, with a VIP meet-and-greet also part of the evening.

Money raised from the event supports Compton’s Table’s programming, mutual aid efforts, and its goal of creating a permanent community space in Erie.
