The 4th Annual Halfway to Halloween Hootenanny

The 4th Annual Halfway to Halloween Hootenanny

After a much-needed slumber, the spirits have awakened… and so has the Hootenanny! We may have hit “pause” on our traditional Halloween bash this past October, but fear not—because we’re rising from the grave next spring with the 4th Annual Halfway to Halloween Hootenanny, returning bigger and bolder than ever.

Next year, we’re raising the bar (literally) with more distilleries and craft cocktails than ever before! Sip your way through a lineup of local and regional distilleries, sample one-of-a-kind Halloween-inspired cocktails, and discover new favorite spirits alongside our curated selection of local craft and European breweries, wineries, and cideries.

Explore our Macabre Marketplace, brimming with creepy art, collectibles, local artists, and offbeat vendors. Enjoy spooky live music, pop-up performances, tasty food, and a few groovy surprises—all in celebration of the halfway point to our favorite holiday: HALLOWEEN!

We missed this fall. Now it’s time to make up for lost time—Hootenanny style, with more spirits than ever!

To celebrate Halloween, we’re releasing a limited number of “Halloween Special” discounted tickets on Halloween at midnight!

Snag yours before they vanish into the night!

Your ticket includes unlimited (responsible) samples of craft beer, wine, kombucha, spirits, and specialty cocktails—plus plenty of water to keep you hydrated! Food will be available for purchase.

Enjoy all-you-can-sample pours from a curated lineup of craft and European breweries, cideries, wineries, distilleries, and kombucha makers (*lineup subject to change).
