Weekend Flyer: Halloween party edition

Friday, Oct. 27

Courtesy

Halloween may be on Tuesday, but the partying is already well underway in Fayetteville this year.

One of the biggest parties of the year is Friday night, when local DJ/party-thrower/boom operator Beat Bachs (a.k.a. Bo Counts) will host his annual Halloween Dance Party at Hog Haus. For those who’ve never been to one of these, it is definitely something to see. He goes all out.

Walton Arts Center has a couple shows on Friday night, with kid-hop band Secret Agent 23 Skidoo in their Starr Theatre, and Decades Rewind in their main hall. Ticket info is here.

TheatreSquared’s new show The Champion continues this weekend as well at Nadine Baum Studios. Here’s the schedule of performances.

Music-wise, local songwriter Randall Shreve is at Stage 18, and Conway rockers American Lions are back in town for a show at Smoke & Barrel Tavern.
