The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

Since Halloween is on a tuesday this year, it more or less means there will be Halloween themed parties and events Oct 27th – Oct31st.  Here are some of the interesting and fun things we like to do this time of year.

Loveboat Halloween
Oct 27 & 28

Halloween at Pier 70

If you like big art, incredible costumes, and world class DJ’s then Pier 70’s Loveboat Halloween is your best choice this year.  It’s the 10th anniversary of this party and it’s a well oiled, outdoor/indoor, burner-esque, bass lined, artistic, spookfest with a lot of everything.  The sound system and DJ lineup is world class, and the art cars, carnival rides, and costumes really make you feel like you’re out on the playa at night.  Fatboy Slim is headlining on Friday and Moby is on Saturday, but the DJ lineup on multiple stages and art cars is thick with dope SF talent as well (check Unimog & JankyBarge).

Daybreakers HALLOWEEN AT SEA
Oct 27th

If it’s a nice day on the bay, there is no better place in the world to get your morning rave and yoga on.  If you haven’t been, you should try it, getting dance sweaty before work is a trip, and Halloween just means the costumes will be extra great.   Hornblower Belle | Pier 3 on the Embarcadero, San Francisco.  October 27, 2017 | Yoga 6 – 6:45 am / Dance Party 6:45 – 9 am.
