masquerade at the yam

It is with deep regret that the YAM announces the decision to cancel the Masquerade at the YAM, scheduled to take place Saturday, October 30, 2021, due to the current health crisis in our community and across the globe. In this decision, the YAM put into careful consideration the thorough reporting provided to us from our trusted local healthcare agencies as well as that of the CDC. The YAM will cancel the annual event for the second year in a row with our invaluable healthcare workers, at-risk populations, and esteemed patrons as our top priority.
