A Halloween party with an Oktoberfest twist is perhaps the most “Fall” event this Halloweekend! What makes this party unique is the focus on craft beer and the Winzerer Fahndl inspired beer garden, offering selections from Elysian, Green Flash, Coronado, Fall and Thorn Street Brewing. If beer is your game, then Spooktober Fest is the name.

It might be the largest Halloween party in SD, but it’s also one of the most affordable, making this event a win-win!! Last year this event was a block party, but it’s since been upgraded to full on MUSIC FESTIVAL status. And yes, the guest performer is the one and only E-40. So grab your tickets for 6 blocks of music, neon paint, free photo booths and lots of alcoholic spirits.
