Halloween Party 2026 featuring Parallel Fifth
Oct 16, 2026 · Emerald Theatre · $37.31–$339.61 USD
Back again for another epic night! The Halloween Party --- a Metro Detroit tradition --- is making its return, and the only thing scary is how much fun you're going to have.
We're turning up the energy for a night of cold drinks, a packed dance floor, and nonstop music, with all proceeds benefiting Rosie's Kitty Catfé. Taking over the main stage, Detroit's premier cover band Parallel Fifth will be playing iconic hits all night. Over in the Rock Room, our host Brian Bagozzi (One for the Road Entertainment) will keep the party moving with live sets to give you two completely different vibes under one roof. Throw on a costume or just come as you are --- either way, bring your best energy. Try your luck with our costume contest, raffle baskets, and 50/50 drawing, and keep refueled with concessions available for purchase, featuring Hungry Howie's pizza and Howie Bread.

Good to know
- Haunted houses sell out on the last two weekends — book ahead, don't walk up.
- Pumpkin patches are best on weekday mornings: smaller crowds, better light for photos.
- Bring cash for the farm stands; card readers and corn mazes don't always mix.
- Check age guidance before bringing small kids to a haunt — 'family fright nights' are the gentler pick.
