Guests begin their journey beneath the Bridge of Sighs before following the glow of candlelight into the Palazzo of Whispers, where each room reveals a new chapter in the masquerade. Throughout the boutique, elaborate installations, dramatic vignettes and curated seasonal collections blur the line between retail and theater, transforming Halloween shopping into an unforgettable destination experience.
“Moonlight Masquerade captures the opulence, intrigue and haunting beauty of a Venetian masquerade,” said Crystal Pfeifer, holiday buyer & home décor at Roger’s Gardens. “Every room has been designed to transport guests into another world while inspiring them to bring the artistry, drama and magic of the season into their own homes.”
Building upon Roger’s Gardens’ more than 50-year legacy, this year’s Halloween Boutique celebrates more than three decades of theatrical retail magic and reflects the creativity, craftsmanship and trend awareness that have come to define the destination.
Visitors are invited to explore six distinct environments:
– The Gilded Vestibule, beginning with a life-size gilded mask that sets the tone for a world of opulence and intrigue, silver- and gold-gilded oddities fill the entrance.
