Hello!

null Are you ready for the spookiest time of the year? Halloween is but a day away, and what better way to celebrate than to head downtown for the 2014 Halloween ParadeThe parade kicks off at 7 p.m., so venture down early and grab a bite to eat at one of our many delicious restaurants beforehand. Not sure where to watch from? Click here for a map of the route! Reminder: streets close at 5:00 p.m. Please utilize surrounding parking ramps for parking. If you're looking for a post-parade party, swing by Me & Billy's for their Halloween Bash

 

The Halloween Parade isn't the only form of celebration tomorrow night. Hotel Blackhawk invites you to howl with them all night long during the Halloween Howling Ball. Dress in your Halloween best for a chance to win their costume contest with prizes ranging from cash to an iPad Air. There will also be a photo booth, live DJ, appetizers, and special spooky cocktails! 

 

Alas, the end of October is here which means one thing- Final Friday! Peruse multiple styles of handmade art at Bucktown Center for the Arts during this month's Spooktacular Final Friday. Stop by Atom Studio + Gallery in honor of their Black & White: Shades of Gray gallery show opening tomorrow, too! This FREE event will also have complimentary refreshments and music. 

 

All scares aside, the Quad City Symphony's Masterworks Series returns to the Adler this weekend featuring compelling violinist, Erin Keefe. Prepare yourself for an evening of fierce and exhilarating tunes orchestrated to perfection. Make sure you grab tickets for the QSCO's Holiday Pops concerts, too. If you're in need of a laugh, head back to the Adler on Sunday for the musical comedy, Menopause the Musical.  

 

From book clubs to art classes, the Figge Art Museum offers an array of events this week! Enjoy FREE admission Saturday for their Day of the Dead Family Fiesta and celebrate rich cultural traditions through art projects, performances, music and food. Interested in learning new or brushing up on old art techniques? Browse the Figge's list of classes and workshops to see what interests you most. This week alone marks the start of their Acrylic Painting, Printmaking, Watercolor, and Bookmaking classes. 

 

Prepare yourself for not just one, but TWO birthday celebrations next weekend! Join Abernathy's on Saturday from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. as they celebrate with food, drinks, vendor meet & greets, discounts, and giveaways! That same day, Me & Billy hosts an all-day party for their 1 year bash with an epic dance party planned for later that evening. Happy birthday, fellow downtowners! 

 

See you downtown!
