BOLLYWOOD THRILLER + DIWALI COSTUME PARTY ????????????????
The stars have finally aligned for us to celebrate both the light & the dark together. Since Halloween & Diwali are happening within a week of each other, this year we are combining our infamous BOLLYWOOD THRILLER costume party (est. 2011) with India’s most popular festival, Diwali.
This once-in-a-decade happening is not to be missed so grab your tickets now before we are out of them. 😉
OPALINE will be decorated with LED candles and a Halloween ambiance!
DO YOU HAVE COSTUMING TIPS FOR THIS PARTY?
???? Honor The Dark: Long-established Halloween costumes will work well.
???? Honor The Light: Vibrant festive/cultural attire to celebrate Diwali or Indian inspired outfits, think Kkrish, Shiva from Brahmastra or there is always Jadoo from Koi Mil Gaya.
???? Get Creative: Intermix dark & light to create your own unique look. Be the star you were born to be & shine your inner light (or darkness). ????
✅ Advance ticket purchase is encouraged for guaranteed entry.
