What is Memento Mori
Memento Mori
Remember that you must die. Then go live like it.
Memento Mori is a Halloween costume party held inside the historic Manresa Castle. The name comes from the Latin phrase meaning "remember death," an old Stoic reminder that our time is limited, and that this is exactly why we should spend it fully.
The castle has lived many lives. It began as a Victorian mansion built for Port Townsend's first mayor, then became a Jesuit mission, and now stands as a 40-room hotel. Its halls are rumored to be haunted, and it has been featured on ghost-hunting shows. Come see whether anyone is watching back.
Twice a year, on Halloween and New Year's Eve, the As Above, So Below team takes over the entire hotel for a multi-room party. Expect a Variety Show, plus three stages of music from artists across many styles, though the lean is electronic. Wander the halls, find your room, and dance until the night runs out.

Do you have a Code of Conduct?
We do!
We want everyone to have a great night. By attending, you agree to the following:
Be respectful. Treat guests, staff, performers, and volunteers with kindness. Harassment, discrimination, hate speech, and unwanted physical contact won't be tolerated.
Consent is required. Always ask before touching, hugging, or photographing someone. "No" or silence means no. This applies to costumes too: a costume is never an invitation. Pay attention to body language. Someone actively avoiding eye contact with you or turning further away is also a 'no.'
Look out for each other. If someone seems unwell, unsafe, or uncomfortable, tell a staff member. Don't leave a friend alone if they're struggling.
Drink and play responsibly. Don't overserve yourself or others. Staff may refuse service or remove anyone who is unsafe.
Respect the venue. Be nice to the building and each other. We're very lucky to be able to do this, so please show your appreciation!
Costume guidelines. Be creative, but avoid costumes that mock or stereotype a culture, religion, race, disability, or identity.
Photos and filming. Photos and video may be taken at the event for promotional use. If you'd rather not be included, let a staff member know. Don't record or share images of other guests without their okay.
Report a problem. Find any staff member or email info@asabovesobelowpnw.com and we'll handle it promptly and discreetly.
Enforcement. Anyone who violates this code may be asked to leave without a refund.
Do you allow re-entry?
Re-entry is allowed with wristbands. Please display them at the door
