The Ball
- One of the year’s most-colorful gay parties in Philadelphia takes place on Halloween night. Host and Antique Row jeweler Henri David has presided over this glorious bash since its humble start in 1968 — his costume is always the evening’s big reveal — although his guests’ getups certainly offer competition.

- The party takes place at Sheraton City Centre Philadelphia from 9pm on Halloween night.
The Contest
- Contest at Midnight for: Most Hysterical, Most Original Couple, Most Sensual Fantasy, Most Horrifying, Most Believable Female Impersonator, Most Beautiful Female Impersonator, Best Celebrity Lookalike, Most Unbelievably Spectacular
