The Pride Center is pleased to announce Hunters Nightclub as the presenting sponsor of Wicked Manors – FREAK SHOW, which will be held on Friday, October 31, 2014, starting at 7 p.m. and going on until midnight!
Hunters owners Mark Seymour and Patrick R. Volkert say, “We are extremely pleased and excited to be a part of such an amazing event. The event places Wilton Manors, The Pride Center and Hunters on the map on such a fun holiday.”
The Hunters legacy extends from Chicago to Palm Springs and now is in the heart of Wilton Manors. It serves quality drinks, dancing and entertainment daily. It also offers karaoke, country and western dancing, cabaret, large special events, happy hour and tons of friendly fun. Their mission statement is simple: Fun and Friendly.
Announcing the new sponsorship arrangement, festival chair Doug Cureton said, “We created Wicked Manors back in 2007 to provide a fantastic Halloween celebration that would bring thousands of visitors to Wilton Manors and showcase our wonderful city. An event of this magnitude cannot happen without committed partners like Hunters, our sponsors and businesses who share this vision of investing and building a community that we all can be proud of!”
This year’s theme for Wicked Manors is “FREAK SHOW” and organizers are expecting to attract over 25,000 costumed revelers on Wilton Drive! Traffic will be prohibited on Wilton Drive to provide a safe area for guests to celebrate and GET THEIR FREAK ON! Wilton Drive will be closed from 1:30 p.m. until 3:00 a.m. from NE 21st Court to Dixie Highway. We will have eight costume contests on the main stage, with over $2,000 in cash and prizes.

Additional sponsors of the event to date are: The Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, Divers Direct Fort Lauderdale, Georgie’s Alibi, Rosie’s Bar & Grill, Progress Bar, The Venue/Manor Nightclub and Village Pub.
