Theme for this year:
Rendezvous 2024: A Spirited Masquerade. Masquerade is an enchanted gathering where mystery meets revelry, and participants veil their identities. The night becomes a canvas for untold stories. Every mask hides a tale, every glance holds a secret, and the air hums with unseen presence. It blends the elegance of the masquerade with a spirited essence, where the night comes alive with both the living and the whispers of those who came before.
