Masquerade Dinner
A gothic three-course dinner with mystery authors, ending in a dramatic group reading and the final reveal of a whodunit you helped solve around town.
Step into the shadows of the historic Ashland Springs Hotel for one of the Ashland Mystery Festival's most beloved traditions: the Masquerade Dinner.
Dine alongside featured mystery authors as they share stories, secrets, red herrings, and the art of crafting a great whodunit. These clever authors have some surprises in store, and the highlight of our gothic dinner will culminate in a dramatic group reading of a mystery created at the Festival and the final reveal of a whodunit that you've been tasked to solve around town.
Don your mask, dress for intrigue, and prepare for an evening of storytelling, surprises, and mystery.
