Although the temperatures are dropping quickly, Harvard students always manage to make this night a fun one, and Flyby is here to help you relieve some of your stress with a round-up of what’ll be happening on campus this weekend.
Thursday
Dark and Stormy Night @ Lowell
If you’re hoping to start the weekend early, Lowell’s got you covered with a night of scary stories and good food hosted by the Harvard Voice Actors’ Guild. This is a cultured way to balance all of the other activities you might be partaking in this weekend, and will be held from 8 pm to 9:30 p.m. at the Lowell JCR.
Friday
Triple Treat: a Halloween Jam
The fun won’t stop on Friday night, when you can pregame any parties with a spirited acapella concert. Here, you’ll be able to reminisce on all of the singing talents that you don’t have. For those interested, the concert will be held at 7 p.m. in Sanders Theatre, and tickets are $10 ($20 non-student) for a night with The Harvard Din & Tonics, Radcliffe Pitches, and the Harvard Krokodiloes.
AAH!-cappella
If you’re looking for something more funky and spooky, the Underground, Glee Club Lite, and 'Cliffe Notes will be performing their style of acapella in Lowell Lecture hall from 7:30-9:00 p.m. Tickets are $5 for a night that promises to be filled with “scares, laughs, and music.”
The Ha!-lloween Show
To continue your night with even more laughs, head to Harvard College Stand-up Comic Society’s Annual Halloween Standup Comedy Show. This event, in Science Center A from 8:00-9:30 p.m, is your one chance to enjoy one of HCSUCS’s largest shows of the year.
The Bat Show
In the dramatic spirit of Halloween, Three Letter Acronym presents a unique comedic experience completely in the dark. You won’t want to miss a second of this all sound improv show at 8 p.m. and 10 in Lowell Bell Tower Room, especially because they literally won’t let in late-comers.
Saturday
Nightmare on Dunster Street
Join the ghost of John Thornton Kirkland for a party, pizza, and drinks at Kirkland House from 8:00-10:00 p.m. Be sure to bring your HUID for entrance and wear your most impressive famous person costume because there will be contest at 9 with celeb judges.
Haunted Hall
Last, but not least, is the Haunted Hall, a revamp from last year’s event in Annenberg. This year, the Harvard College Events Board, the First-Year Social Committee, the Harvard Undergraduate Council, and the Cambridge Queen’s Head Pub will be hosting a college-wide event featuring different activities in Memorial Hall. The Pub will kick things off at 8:00 p.m. with free food and drinks (alcohol available for purchase 21+), followed by a costume “catwalk” at 9:00pm and a live student band at 11:00pm. At 10:30 p.m., a transformed Annenberg will be open for dancing with a DJ, food, and drinks. Come to this event prepared with your HUID and costume, and be sure to take pictures with friends at the green-screen photo booth.
