Halloween is here, and as a college student, it’s gotten a bit more difficult to celebrate. Of course there are always parties happening, but early evening activities may be harder to come by; trick-or-treating at our age may warrant some strange looks and doors being slammed in our faces. To help make the best of your Halloween evening, here are some events happening around Peoria tonight.
Chipotle $3 Burritos
If you’ve ever complained on Yik Yak about how much you hate Moe’s, take a minute to revel in Chipotle’s Halloween treat to all of us. After 5 p.m. today only, head on over to one of Peoria’s Chipotle locations and get any burrito for just $3 if you’re wearing a costume. Yeah, you read that right.
Star Wars Masquerade Ball
The Apollo Theatre is just one of Peoria’s historic gems, and fortunately for us, it is still open to the public and hosting events. This year, the theatre is hosting a Star Wars Masquerade Ball, where folks are encouraged to dress as their favorite Star Wars character in order to win prizes. Performers include Art of Ill Fusion, Brainchild and Easy Riders. The event is open to all ages, so if you’re under 21 and like (or love) Star Wars, you may want to check this out. Tickets are $10, and the show starts at 8 p.m.
Brave Sounds Presents: Halloween Show
Brave Sounds Entertainment knows a thing or two about Halloween. For the last three years, the group has brought some great up-and-coming bands to campus and put the “boo” in boogie. This year’s Halloween show will continue the costume contest tradition, with prizes for the best male costume, best female costume and best duo costume. The Oceanographers, Victorian Halls and North by North will be performing at the event, which goes from 7 to 10 p.m. in the Student Center Ballroom.
If your Halloween isn’t spooktastic enough to begin with, hopefully these events will help to give it that “AHH” factor. Happy Halloween, everybody.
