Halloweek Kicks Off With Raging Dead & Shockoball

by | Oct 21, 2011 | POLITICS

Presented by Taste The Local & RVA, tonight is the kick off 11 days full of spooky, weird and crazy events celebrating what is arguably Richmond’s favorite holiday. If you’re smart, you’ve already picked up, purchased, assembled or pulled your awesome costume out of storage and are ready to rage in vein of Samhain. Well we’ve got plenty of fun and festivities packed full of music, spirits, contests and door prizes for you dirty little devils.

Tonight is The Raging Dead at New York Deli with Audio Ammo. Thanks to West Coast Kix and River City Music, the first fifty people who dare to enter will be awarded with a gift bag that would make Phthonus himself green with envy. Make sure you dress to astound because one lucky winner will be leaving the Deli with a prize package that includes two tickets to see rap sensation Wale and a gift certificate to West Coast Kix.

The craziness continues on Saturday with day two of The Shockoeball presented by EQ Pruduktions. The Shockoeball is a two day event with music from Conspirator, The Former Champions, Ghost Payne, Eclectic Method, Sonicspank and Josati. Both nights will have a DJ Dungeon you will not want to miss. Tickets can be purchased at thecanalclub.com and all information is available on The Shockoeball event page.
