Painted Faces on Parade

If I had the money and the space I would host a Halloween masquerade. It would be in the spirit of the one hosted by Leonardo in Much Ado about Nothing. I would have masks at the front for people who think they can get in without dressing up. I would love to have fun, fanciful masks like these from a masquerade wedding reception:

There would be awesome traditional masks from different countries:

My dad had a mask just like this one from Hawai'i.

These are for Dio de los Muertos and they are awesome.

Traditional Venetian masks. Also very cool. Source

And there would just be cool masks I saw and liked. Like these leather ones from last year's Charles Dickons' Fair:



There would be great music and lots of space in my house for dancing. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, a dance where people actually danced. Novel, isn't it? Ahhh...it would be a yearly event to really look forward to.

How would you celebrate if you had the space and money?
