NIGHT(MARE) IN THE STACKS TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT!

Event details:

Friday, October 31
8:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m.
Central Library, Copley Square

For the first time ever, Night in the Stacks will take place on Halloween—and we’re taking over every haunted corner of the iconic McKim Building for a one-of-a-kind celebration.

This is a 21 and older event.

Celebrate Boston's Spooky Stories

Step inside the Library after dark and uncover Boston’s spookiest stories brought to life through live music by the Sweetbeats band, dancing, delicious food, and an open bar. Guests will also enjoy exclusive access to the brand-new Revolution! 250 Years of Art + Activism exhibition—opening just days before the event.

This night of mystery raises essential funds for the Boston Public Library’s free programs and services. 

Costumes inspired by gothic literature and Boston lore are warmly encouraged.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable evening for everyone, guests must refrain from wearing full-coverage masks or bringing costume weapons.
