UNEARTH CHILLS AND THRILLS  AT THE FIFTH ANNUAL DOWNTOWN BERKELEY
HALLOWEEN HOOTENANNY ON BART PLAZA

Brace yourselves for a chillingly delightful affair! The Downtown Berkeley Association is thrilled to announce the return of the Halloween Hootenanny for it's fifth year on the ominous Downtown Berkeley BART Plaza located at 2170 Shattuck Avenue. Mark your calendars!

This year, the DBA is conjuring up a spine-tingling experience like never before. Prepare for a night of macabre enchantment as DJ O'Aces spins haunting melodies that will send shivers down your spine. Meander through a wicked vendor market featuring palm readers, mystics, bewitching artists selling their wares, face-painting, and an array of other ghoulishly delightful surprises. Feel the rhythm and the blues with live music from Thompsonia, a spellbinding blend of Cajun, acoustic blues, and spine-tingling bluegrass.

Thompsonia, a family trio like no other, fuses Eric & Suzy Thompson's deep dedication to the traditions of old-time music, Cajun rhythms, and acoustic blues with the fresh, eerie perspective of their daughter, Allegra. The result is a musical potion that oscillates between the wild and the sentimental, offering a heaping dose of groove and a touch of the supernatural. Suzy and Allegra's genetically harmonious vocals create a hauntingly beautiful sound, accompanied by Eric's masterful mandolin and guitar prowess, Suzy's scorching fiddle, and Allegra's unwavering upright bass. 

Prepare yourself for a night of supernatural festivities at the Halloween Hootenanny, where the spirits of Downtown Berkeley will awaken for a truly haunting experience.
