The Hawthorn is throwing its 12th annual Halloween party on Saturday, October 31, and this year's theme is pulling from the southern gothic end of the spooky spectrum. The event, which the venue is calling "The Garden of Angels and Demons," runs from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and carries no cover charge.
Guests can expect a special food and drink menu built around the theme, along with a costume parade and costume contest — staples of the Hawthorn's Halloween format that have helped build the event's reputation as one of the more committed holiday parties in Helena. A dozen years of doing this tends to produce a crowd that takes the costume requirement seriously.
The Hawthorn has not released full menu or contest details ahead of the event. Admission is free, and the party is open to the public.
