Show Those Monster Moves
Grab a date. Grab your mummy. Grab your fiendish friends across the state for a party at the most haunted location in Michigan - the Historic Courthouse Square. Enjoy music, dance, dark stories, finger food, and a bar pouring brews and concoctions that are frightfully good.
We recommend Halloween attire or classic domino masks. But if you are a cheesy vampire, then come as a cheesy vampire. Dance till the witching hour!
We will be waiting for you…
