On Sat., Oct. 30, make your way Downtown to the last Night Market of the season in Market Square where there will be 30 vendors, live music and entertainment, and trick or treating from 5-10 p.m. Make your way around the square to see all of the local makers and sellers’ booths decked out in Halloween decor and enjoy the live entertainment including Miss Freddye (5-7 p.m.), O’Ryan the O’Mazing performing circus tricks (7:15-7:45 p.m.), and The Yeggs (8-10 p.m.) Shop Halloween-themed items like clay earrings from Peace Love n Little Gems or eery art pieces from After Dark Illustrations. To see a full list of the vendors, visit this page.
While at the Night Market, swing by the Bacardi and Pittsburgh City Paper “Night Circus”-themed booth where they will have games, prizes, a selfie station, and trick-or-treat buckets to make your way around the square and collect some candy from the vendors while shopping. They will also have the official Cocktail Crawl brochure listing all of the participants and their hours to use as a guide to make your way out into the city for a spooky cocktail (or two!) after you have enjoyed your shopping.
The Cocktail Crawl portion of the event includes 17 Downtown restaurants and bars which have crafted delicious cocktails that will bring out the fall spirit in any Pittsburgher. Each cocktail is crafted with at least one of the featured liquors, Bacardi Spiced Rum, Cazadores Tequila, or Grey Goose Vodka. From a Bloody Margarita to a Purple People Eater and even a Hocus Pocus Shot, there is something for everyone and plenty of new crafted cocktail ideas to try.
With The Speckled Egg opening at 8 a.m. and three other brunch spots and multiple open for lunchtime, you can either start your Cocktail Crawl early or wait until the evening and make your way around and take advantage of the witching hour and Halloween festivities.
