In the Seaport:
Play it by fear on Friday October 18th. Join Seaport and Provincetown Brewing on October 18th at The Rocks for a night of haunted harmonies, as Glass Artists string quartet covers Halloween classics and slasher themes. Join your ghost host, JAM’N 94.5’s Ashlee Feldman from 6:00 – 8:30pm for brews with your boos alongside tricks and treats from Puffy Clouds Boston. The ghoulish grooves kick off at 6:30pm but to set the scene (and inspire your Halloween fit), arrive early and stroll through an installation of fantastical figures by artist Bill Crisafi and fashion designer Hogan McLaughlin. Hang around after the concert and monster mash to beats by DJ Brian Halligan.
