6 to 10 pm

Spooky Garden Reverie
Lit pathways, music, food & treats at the end of Burrows Street.

Step into the Green Between garden transformed for Halloween. Spooky lights glow along the paths, festive music by DJ Antitdope fills the air, and seasonal treats wait around every corner. Hungry? El Fuego will be serving up authentic Mexican all night. Come in costume or come as you are. Little ghouls, grown-up goblins, and everyone in between are welcome.

Spooky Garden Reverie is a free, all-ages celebration brought to you by the Portola Neighborhood Association in partnership with Family Connection Centers, made possible by a grant from the Civic Joy Fund. It’s a chance to gather with neighbors, make some memories, and enjoy the Garden District at its most enchanting (and, perhaps, a little eerie).

Admission is free. Donations are encouraged and help us keep community events like this one going for the whole neighborhood._
