Halloweek 2014 – a weeks worth of RVA’s best Halloweek parties

Edgar Allan Poe. The ghosts of Confederate soldiers. The collapsed train tunnel beneath Church Hill. The Hollywood Cemetery vampire.

Edgar Allan Poe. The ghosts of Confederate soldiers. The collapsed train tunnel beneath Church Hill. The Hollywood Cemetery vampire. Richmond has been a haunted town for centuries, going all the way back to the curse Chief Powhatan cast upon the area in the 17th century. In light of the city’s supernatural history, confining our Halloween celebrations to just one night never seemed like the way to go. This is why, nine years ago, RVA Magazine created the week long celebration of this uncanny holiday known as Halloweek.

And now, RVA Magazine is happy to announce Halloweek 2014!! On October 24th, we start our weeklong program of Halloween oriented happenings around RVA. Eight nights are filled to
the brim with thrilling events! As usual, we’ll have huge dance parties, the zombie walk, and other Halloweenthemed evenings, complete with all the haunted festivities that make this time of year one of RVA’s favorite holidays.

.Halloweek has always been unique in its ability to inspire and share widely resonating content relevant to Halloween fun in Richmond. Using RVA Magazine’s social media network, Halloweek reached over 2 million people in 2013.

Make sure and ask for our Official Halloweek Beer; Strangeways Gourd of Thunder

GOURD OF THUNDER IMPERIAL PUMPKIN PORTER

Gourd of Thunder is a dark and gnarly Imperial Pumpkin Porter brewed with freshly picked local pumpkins that were ripened on the vine while continuously listening to heavy metal. The malty pumpkin backbone fuses robustly with a milky sugar creaminess. Bourbon vanilla beans lay down a rock-steady foundation that drives the cinnamon, ginger and clove spices through your skull. This brew does not merely mimic the flavor of a mortal pumpkin pie. Gourd of Thunder will cataclysmically blow your mind with its face-melting, high-voltage attitude. Headbangers Unite!
