Baton Rouge, La Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70808
The capital area's favorite Halloween-mongers, 10/31 Consortium, are back—returning with a slate of hilarious and haunting events.
Kick things off with a streak of dastardly do-gooding, by donating gently used Halloween costumes and (store-bought, individually-wrapped) candy to ensure that all of the little monsters can have their day on the streets. The Fifolet Costume and Candy Drive will be held from September 1–mid-October at locations all over Greater Baton Rouge.
The hallowed weekend itself brings its own set of festivities, starting with the Fifolet Hallween Festival Pub Crawl (or Zombie Crawl) along 3rd Street on October 29. Shuffle along to the bars on the marked route, souvenir cup in hand. Participants will receive special drink discounts, and plenty of opportunities to win prizes along the way. Free makeup will be provided on a first-come, first-serve basis one hour before the crawl. 6 pm. $45.
October 30, the Halloween Parade rolls through downtown Baton Rouge. Groups may register to participate for free, or you can just watch the true horror of civic engagement and good times as a spectator. The Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank will lead the procession, collecting nonperishable food donations from spectators along the route. Rolls at 7 pm.
The Fifolet Hallween Ball—a full-on Monster Mash—takes place on October 31 at the Lod Cook LSU Alumni Center. Live music will be provided by Petty Betty. Costumes, of course, encouraged. 8 pm. $60 for standing room; $700 for table of ten.
