Halloween in Old Town
Enjoy a free, family-friendly evening with music, costumes and candy. Halloween in Old Town is a fun, safe place to trick-or-treat. Stroll through the plazas for candy from participating local merchants, enjoy music on the gazebo, get your face painted to complete your costume and take a picture in the photo booth.
Dia De Los Muertos Celebration
Dia de los Muertos is a day to celebrate loved ones who have passed. This age-old tradition, stemming from Mexico, helps bring happiness and closure to the hearts of the deceased’s loved ones. It is a time to revel in their lives, not mourn their losses. South Broadway Cultural Center is hosting a celebration during this holiday with an art exhibition, a car show, live entertainment, food trucks, and displays of families’ ofrendas (commemorating altars). Bring the family to this free event and join the community for this very special, unique holiday at South Broadway Cultural Center.
Muertos Fiesta
Because it is important to honor the dead through art, music, food and drink we ask that you join us for the 3rd Annual Muertos Fiesta on Saturday, November 2nd from 2-9pm. This is a special celebration featuring live music and performances from Jade Masque, Sol De La Noche, Yeztli Tanzt Y Arte and Red Light Cameras! Local artist and vendors will host a Muertos Market and respected altars will be displayed for you to add pictures and candles for the loved ones you're missing.

Popejoy Presents: Bandstand
From three-time Tony® winner and Hamilton choreographer, Andy Blankenbuehler, comes an inspiring new American musical that explodes with infectious music and high-octane, heart-stopping dancing. It’s 1945, and six soldiers return from war to a changed nation. When NBC announces a national competition to find the nation’s next great musical superstars, they form a band unlike any the nation has ever seen. Along the way, they discover the power of music to face the impossible, find their voice, and finally feel like they have a place to call home. “The show defies you not to be moved.” (Time Out New York).
