Two big Halloween-themed parties are taking place Saturday night, and funnily enough both both are related to alcohol in that the folks throwing the parties are Deschutes Brewery and Oregon Spirit Distillers.

The Brewery is throwing their annual warehouse party from 8pm until 2am, where you’ll be able to get in for $10 (which benefits the Bend Paddle Trail Alliance.

Join us during the Halloween Cross Crusades for the warehouse party of the year! From 8:00pm-2:00am enjoy the vintage carnival & adult circus we’re calling “CYCLO du SOLEIL”!

Once again be sure to watch the Traditional Clydesdale race from 8:30-9:00pm, and if you’re already enjoying the party, be sure to get a stamp that gets you re-entry into the wareshouse until 9:30pm.

In addition to live music and stage performances by Klown Korps from San Francisco, beats will have you movin’ from DJ Delachaux all night long.

There will also be entertainment acts from the Bend Circus Center & other local performance troupes doing aerial, belly dancing, acrobatics, & fire performances.

Meanwhile over at Astro Lounge, Oregon Spirit Distillers is having an Absinthe Party also starting at 8pm celebrating their latest bottled offering.

Come Out and Play this Halloween Saturday night with Oregon Spirit Distillers and DJ ATL at the Astro. We’ll be mixing up tunes and tasting Oregon Spirit’s latest release WILD CARD ABSINTHE.
