The third-annual Malice Ball returns to OTR for a night of illusion, mystery and masquerading in the foggy underworld of the Christian Moerlein Malt House Taproom. Dress in chic, dark and elegant costumes to enter the costume contest for prizes and a parade down the red carpet; a makeup artist and masks will be at the ball to enhance your look. Complement your outfit with specialty cocktails, Moerlein’s small-batch rye brown ale Malice Ball Brew, a spooky photo booth and DJs Matt Joy and Kenneth Wright (CityBeat’s event coordinator). Last year’s party was huge (800-plus guests), so get ready to mix and mingle.
8:30 p.m.-1 a.m. Saturday. $30 at the door; admission includes a drink ticket. 1621 Moore St., Over-the-Rhine, otrchamber.com.
