Without further ado, 5 things to do in and around Victoria this Thursday, October 23rd:
The Bakery’s Haunted House Party
The Bakery is throwing a Halloween party, and you’re invited!
Join them for a spooky night filled with Halloween tales, CANDY, and maybe a seance or two.
Something feral this way comes! Feral Cats will be opening up the evening, pouncing into the night with their signature style…
The Bakery will take the stage for a set inspired by real-life Halloween memories: regrettable costume mishaps, candy trades that got too real, and all of the wild and wonderful weird stuff that only happens on All Hallow’s Eve.
