Creative Healing Center & Crystal Boutique and Event Center · Livermore
Let Michele Campbell guide you through an energetic reset using healing frequencies, vibrational music, and intuitive energy work. It's an hour designed to quiet your mind, clear emotional clutter, and leave you feeling lighter than when you walked in.
Every day at 5:30pm
Filoli Historic House & Garden · Woodside
A historic estate turns into a glowing Halloween storybook after dark: 1,000 jack-o'-lanterns light the redwood trail, a witch's curse haunts the candlelit mansion, and a harvest party keeps the cider flowing. All atmosphere, zero jump-scares.
Every day at 6pm from Oct. 1 to Nov. 1
The San Francisco Mint · Union Square
Drag-horror icon Peaches Christ takes over the 1874 San Francisco Mint for a theatrical haunted house sequel. Thirty-seven years after the Hellville massacre, a new evil stalks the grand old halls.
Every day from Oct. 1 to Nov. 9
The San Francisco Mint · Mid-Market
Ever wanted to star in your own 80s slasher flick? Peaches Christ's immersive haunt traps you in Hellville: 29 movie-set rooms, 100+ scare actors, and a masked killer across three floors of the old Mint.
October 21 at 2am +99
Guildhouse · Downtown San Jose
Lie to your friends' faces and try not to get caught. Blood on the Clocktower is a social deduction game of bluffing, mystery, and strategy held weekly at Guildhouse. Beginners welcome on most Tuesdays; intermediate and exclusive sessions rotate monthly.
Browse the Bay Area neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
