About Pink Moon:

Every 100 years, as the earth is reborn, a Pink Moon can be seen across the horizon as the green flowers begin to bloom. Illuminating the night sky, it almost appears as if the Sun has taken its place for one evening. Though many have heard the stories of the Pink Moon, very few have had the opportunity to witness the magic with their own eyes. An event one hundred years in the making has been whispered about by many, but will be presented to only a chosen few. Pink Moon requires after 5 attire accompanied by your most refined demeanor. Early Arrival is strongly suggested. General Admission is $20 and $50 for VIP access. Advanced tickets can be purchased.

Your support of this event is greatly appreciated.

Your media coverage is welcomed.
