Cause
  • Put your pups in the holiday spirit and support a good cause at the Howl-O-Ween Dog Party at Aloft Asheville Downtown this Sunday, Oct. 29, from 1 to 5 p.m. Furry friends can gather for a costume contest, raffles, vendors, music, and cocktails (for the humans, at least) — all to benefit Charlie’s Angels Animal Rescue.
Shop
  • The final Full Moon Party of the year is getting a Halloween makeover. This Saturday, Oct. 28 from 7:30 p.m. to 12 a.m., the Hunter’s Moon will light up the night, and vendors will set up at Wedge Brewing to offer tarot + human design readings, crystals, candles, jewelry, art, and glass pumpkins. Costumes are encouraged.
Sports
  • Get stoked because Harvest Jam is happening this Saturday, Oct. 28 at Riveter. Watch the pro + amateur riders compete (or enter the contest yourself), and enjoy the music, food trucks, raffle, and drinks. And to keep up the Halloween holiday spirit, don’t miss the costume contest or costumed ride.
Asked

Which local trick-or-treat spot has the best candy haul?
That could be a neighborhood that always stocks full-size bars, a local business that gives out the choicest candies, or an event that beats traditional trick-or-treating.

We also won’t judge if your answer is “the grocery store on Nov. 1.”
