It’s the weekend before Halloween! Since the spookiest day of the year falls on a Tuesday, people are celebrating early. But not to fear! There’s plenty to do on the day of as well. Here’s a sampling of some of the things happening in town (plus a few non-scary events for the faint of heart). And check out our video running down Asheville’s ghosts you need to know.
Friday
Head to the Mothlight for HEX Asheville, which benefits CIMA (Compañeros Inmigrantes de las Montañas en Acción). Costumes encouraged. Photo booth, tarot readings, DJ sets from DJ Honey, DJ Heavy Charms, and DJ Lil Meow Meow, live hip-hop set from A MAC. 8 pm.
Friday and Saturday
Relive your scariest high school moments at Haunted High @ Asheville High School. It’s a fundraiser for the Asheville High School Band Association that takes places in the halls and classrooms of the historic Asheville High School building.

Saturday
