2026 Fall Fright Fundraiser and Silent Auction

The Salt Lake Community Bail Fund is hosting its seventh annual Fall Fright Fundraiser at the International Artist Lounge on Sunday, October 25, from 5 PM to 9 PM. It's a social night rather than a formal gala, so costumes are encouraged. The evening runs on cocktails, bingo games with prizes, and drag performances by Veronika DaVil, and it closes out with karaoke.

Running alongside the bingo is a silent auction with prize packages from local businesses and artists. Bidding opens on October 18, so you can get your bids in before the night even starts. The whole thing is a fundraiser for the Salt Lake Community Bail Fund, a grassroots, volunteer-run organization that's been operating since 2020. Over the last five years, they've freed hundreds of people, and their work focuses on ending the harms of cash bail and pre-trial detention. They also run a court support program that accompanies people to immigration court, so the money goes toward supporting some of the most vulnerable members of the community.

Registration is free, whether you sign up online or in person, and the night runs from 5 PM to 9 PM at the International Artist Lounge, 342 S State St, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.
