Gothicfest 2007 will be held at the Excalibur in downtown
Chicago. This castle like building designed by Henry Ives Cobb was built in 1892. The massive multi room, nine
level maze can be a bit intimidating at first. With its gothic overtones,
dark winding corridors and spiral staircases, it should come as no surprise
that the space was once a downtown church. According to rumors, the building was also used to house
corpses from a shipwreck, was a mob-related murder scene, a pornographic
theater, and a crack house before it was turned into the Limelight Nightclub
by Peter Gatien in 1985. It is also rumored that the building was a place of
Satanic rituals.
Excalibur has a capacity of 2,000 and hosts
several full service liquor bars that serve food and refreshments as well.
Due to the adult nature of this festival and expo, Gothicfest 2007 will be an
over 21 event. Here are some links of interest: Picture Galleries of Excalibur: Gothicfest 2007 highlights:
