Distorted visual brilliance in every color of confusion. Illusions and installations filled with surreal spectacles and ferocious fantasies of the cute and creepy, dangerous and delirious. Indulge in technicolor temptations and dance with acid induced apparitions in a paranormal playtime.
It’s Halloweekend and we’re delving deep into visions of surreality. Nothing is what it seems and everything is real. : : : COSTUMES ARE MANDATORY FOR ENTRY : : : Come as your own neurotic nightmare, psychedelic seduction, club kid candy flipped clown, magical monster or best bad trip.

Le Fanfare – 1103 Manhattan Ave – Greenpoint
Summer has come and gone, but luckily enough The Wild Honey Pie has just the event that is sure to relinquish your post-September sadness. Celebrate the season of spooky movies, yummy candy and sweater weather with the eclectic, jazz-influenced pop duo, Salt Cathedral. This Halloween night, put on a costume and join us at Le Fanfare where we will be drinking delicious, spine-tingling cider and beer and feasting on three courses of tasty Italian food. We all hope to see you on Halloween night in your best costume!
