Portland Erotic Ball, one of the city’s most iconic and enduring Halloween traditions, returns for its 26th anniversary this fall with a bold new vision while continuing its legacy as Portland’s largest adult Halloween event. 1,500 guests will fill all three levels of the historic Crystal and celebrate elaborate costumes, music, performance art and self-expression. The event has become the longest-running recurring event in the Crystal Ballroom’s 112-year history and remains one of the last large-scale celebrations keeping Portland’s famously creative and unconventional spirit alive in downtown Portland.
Live entertainment includes the band, Dance Hall Days with the opening band, The Stupid Girls kicking festivities off. Emmy-nominated Drag Superstar, Sasha Scarlett, hosts with dazzling deliciousness! There’s a $10K Costume Contest, and categories include Sexiest Couple, Most Hilarious Comedy Costume and Anything But Clothes to allow guests to really let their imaginations fly!
The event also features burlesque, dancers, aerialists, circus acts and both a Live Kink Performance Stage and Fetish Demonstration Tastings with audience members.
A celebration for adults of every kind — 21+ only. We welcome all identities, expressions, orientations, cultures, backgrounds, beliefs, bodies, and journeys. Whether you come dressed to impress, dressed to transform, or simply as yourself, you are welcome here. Come celebrate individuality, connection, and the freedom to be who you are.

Yes pleeeeeease Daaaaahling! Let’s all go! 🥰
We went our first year in Portland and I would love to go back this year!
I want to dress up in a sexy Halloween costume and dance! The Portland Erotic Ball is the place to be.
Yasss
What a fun quirky thing! I’d love to go see this with a couple friends and experience the sexy weirdness Portland has to offer!
Never have been all these years. Would love to go!
Because I’m 40 now and apparently my midlife crisis has a dress code! But honestly, I’ve wanted to go to the Erotic Ball for YEARS — way longer than I probably should admit. Back in middle school and high school, I used to listen to Z100’s the “Morning Zoo” on my way to school every morning, and I remember hearing the radio commercials for the Erotic Ball. I didn’t even really know what the event was or what “erotic” meant yet — I just knew it sounded AMAZING and like this mysterious, wild, very grown-up Portland event that I absolutely wanted to experience someday.
Well… apparently “someday” took a couple decades, because now I’m 40 and I STILL haven’t gone! So I think it’s finally time. Give me the outrageous costumes, burlesque, aerialists, dancing, questionable fashion decisions, and all the glorious Portland weirdness. Winning tickets to something I’ve literally been hearing about since I was a kid would be such a full-circle moment — and definitely the kind of story I want to be telling for the next 40 years.
Would love this
I would love to get dressed up and go to the ball. A different kind of Weird Cinderella! That would be a very cool experience.
Sounds fun
I have never been!
