For every kid whose kinks collided with “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Halloween,” this party is for you. Started in Atlanta in the mid-’90s, The Castle‘s “Hallucination Before Christmas” is not just the marquee holiday party of Ybor City, but a chance to revel alongside dozens of the south’s best DJs and producers (including local legends Monk and Bunny from Rabbit in the Moon) while also collecting a literal ton of food for Feeding Tampa Bay.

You’re gonna feel good in more ways than one after the Castle does last call after this getdown.

Tickets to the annual Hallucination Before Christmas at Ybor City’s The Castle on Saturday, Dec. 16 are no longer available online, but a smattering are still available at the St. Pete, Ybor City, and Tampa locations of Hot Wax Kava.
