All-Hallows-Eve, that is, the night before All Hallows Day... most commonly known as Halloween: A cultural tradition that's been celebrated since the 16th century. Of course, a celebration that was originally created to honoring the dead has evolved into a night dedicated to A) trick-or-treating B) attending costume parties C) carving jack-o'-lanterns D) telling scary stories / watching horror movies E) all of the above... So yeah, the list of activities surrounding this annual holiday is way too long to fit into one single night.
Luckily, Halloween falls on a Monday this year, giving you the rare opportunity to maximize your weekend of tricking, treating and looking "drop-dead-gorgeous" (literally) five whole nights. So naturally, a lot of people have been asking, what you'll be doing this Halloween. And, of course, there's more than only one right answer. So for those locals living in Mexico City, or if you happen to be visiting our lovely city, here's a list of activities Mexico City's diabolical nightlife has to offer.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27th
Noche de Monstruos IV @Leonor ft. La Royal - If you're looking for a small yet crowded place to start of your weekend, this is the place to be and be seen // Dresscode: Costume
Rhodesian Haunted Mansion @Club Social Rhodesia ft. Club 303, Hoodie Hoo! and Andree VII - If you're a "the more the merrier" kind of person, the CSR will definitely suit your style, guaranteed to be a crowed pleaser // Dresscode: Movie characters (Try your best, you could win an ipad 2)
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28th
Metronomy Live Show @José Cuervo Salón - It's been almost three years since their last visit, but their back (from the dead) and ready to make our little bones dance like they do in the English Riviera // Dresscode: Dia de los Muertos.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29th
Kitsuné Halloween Club Night @Pasaguero ft. Is Tropical, Beataucue and Database - By Saturday you might be feeling like a zombie, but don't stop now! Kitsuné has a UK / France / Brazilian team of DJ's to pump up the volume centro histórico style // Dresscode: Halloween
So there you have it, a three-day-weekend agenda to choose from. And if you're up for it, I'm thinking of throwing an exclusive "Dia de los Muertos inspired night of cocktails and small bites" sometimes next week. (*FYI, no slutty pumpkins, witches, vampires or anything else of the sort allowed)
