Halloween brings the annual Witches Tea to the Albrecht Kemper Museum of Art.
Executive Director Eric Fuson says the event is one of the best costumed events that he has ever been to
“Cause it’s easy to, if you if you just want to come put a witches hat on, done, you’re good to go, so you can pop in out of work at lunchtime, cause the first ones at noon for lunch and then we’ll have a dinner at 6:30,” Fuson says on the KFEQmunnity show. “But we do have a lot of people that pop in for the lunch over there, lunch hour, throw on their hat and their good to go, but some of them go full out.”
Fuson says the event has been one of the more popular events since the museum took it over
“It generally sells out, especially the lunch goes pretty quick, so that’s why we’re kind of talking about it now, if you really have been saying I should go, I’ve been meaning to do that, get your reservations in soon because it does fill every time,” Fuson says. “We get about 100, 120, something like that for each one, so it is really, really a good time.”
Marketing and Communications Manager Madison McKinley says people shouldn’t be turned off by the name of the event
“It’s fun to just come and hang out with your friends or your family, get in costume, there are specialty drinks from our bar,” McKinley explains. “We have a little boutique shopping that will be going on, we always have little pop-up vendors that are selling witchy trinkets and jewelry and plants, stuff like that, and then we have psychic readings.”
The lunch will be at noon with the dinner at 6:30pm at the museum. Tickets can be purchased while available on the Albrecht Kempers website.
