[HALLOWEEN] Buffalo will be celebrating Halloween in full force this weekend, with parties at a every major venue in town and most of the smaller bars too. On Friday, October 30—which some refer to as Beggar’s Night and others know as Devil’s night—options include The Public Presents at Nietzsche’s, featuring The Naturalists and more; Cowboys of Scotland Beggars night at Milkie’s; Radiation at The Underground Nightclub; DJ Sandro Silva at Lift Nightlclub; CO Jones Beggars Night at Duke’s; Murder at the Disco at the Pearl Street Grill; and Hellbound at Cole’s, which will feature some industrial music, cage dancers, a light show and a costume contest. 

Then on Halloween, Saturday, October 31 major parties include the Witches Ball, a masquerade party at the Hotel at The Lafayette, which will feature multiple bands and DJs, a costume party, a freak show and much more. Robby Takac will MC the party which will have a “Buffalo Horror Story” theme. Meanwhile, The Town Ballroom will host a Halloween Bash featuring a Badfish: A Tribute to Sublime, the Mohawk Place hosts a Halloween party, which will feature tributes to Joy Division and more; The Lodge has a Zombie Ball; Club Marcella serves up a Halloween Blood Feast, and Nietzsche’s hosts their Halloween Extravaganza with the Irving Klaws and the Stripteasers. For something a little more low key, there’s the Hot Mama’s Canteen Halloween Bash featuring a costume contest (free entry), Halloween Party Time at Exchange; the Halloween Monster Ball at Duke’s; Tap House or Halloween at the Gypsy Parlor, and Saturday will be your last chance to take the Creepy Cobblestone Paranormal Walk which begins at 9:30pm at Buffalo Iron Works. Choose wisely, friends.
