If October 31 is one of your favorite dates of the year, then you’re likely gonna want to suss out the full agenda of Halloween-themed events and parties planned for this year. You can’t let your carefully planned costume go to waste, after all. That’d be a shame.
And so, as we draw closer to All Hallows’ Eve, and as creatures that crawl and things that go bump in the night begin to emerge from their dark corners, leaving waves of fright and terror in their wake — ah, you get the gist. We’ve set the scene enough.
Scroll through our list below of parties, things to do, and “gruesome” foods to try once Halloween rolls around town next week.

Beyond the wine, the 18-and-above event will get guests into character with a makeup booth, so you can prowl the streets at night after you’ve downed a couple glasses.
