COSTUME CALENDAR

While every day is a great day for a masquerade, there are many dates and events that are best celebrated in costumes. WATTS Costumes has created a Costume Calendar that lists those dates to help you celebrate and participate in style!

Our Costume Calander lists Holidays and Events that occur locally and internationally each year. The calandar is presented as follows:

1st Column: Lists the month in which the Holiday or Event happens in.
2nd Column: List the actual date that the Holiday or Event lands on.
3rd Column: Lists the title of the Holiday or Event and may provide a link to a website leading information about the event.
4th Column: Lists costume suggestions with links to WATTS Costume pictures (if available).
5th Column: Provides a link back to a Wikipedia page explaining the Holiday or Event.

Do not hesitate to call us for theme consultation, group rentals, fittings, and custom costume & mascot design.

Note: Click on the Costume Theme links to see a rental costume. Click on the Event link for info on that event. (please note this calendar is still being developed, more dates and costume images will be added)
