On Saturday, Kyle Hollingsworth Band, a quartet out of Colorado, will take the stage as the headliner from 8 to 10 p.m. A keyboard player for The String Cheese Incident, Kyle Hollingsworth is known for his ability to perform in several styles, from rock to classical, while always chasing new sounds. Family Groove Company will open the evening with groove informed jazz/rock from 5:15 to 7:15 p.m.
“Expect a spooky-fun scene! Amongst the fog and gravestones, a 15-foot werewolf and menacing gargoyle loom the historic grounds, while fire fills the night sky and dances along to the music,” said Adison Glick, special events senior team leader at Naper Settlement. “Nightmares come alive in the outdoor haunt, and magic is found amongst the Halloween-themed vendors in the Moonlight Market. Guests and monsters alike can take a break and warm up next to a campfire before seeing the contortionist, sword swallower, and other shocking acts on the sideshow stage.”
With mouthwatering cuisine and drinks at the Food Truck Graveyard and BOOze Bar, live bands, thrilling sideshow performances, spooky art displays, and much more, Howlin’ at the Moon is the ultimate Halloween bash for adults age 21 or older.
No one under the age of 21 is permitted. IDs will be checked at the entrance. Tickets are $25. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit NaperSettlement.org/Howlin.
