October 27 at 7:30pm
The Parkway Theater · Nokomis • $10
Cult horror gets a sultry warm-up when Queenie Von Curves hits the stage before The Blair Witch Project. It is the kind of unhinged double bill only a vintage theater could pull off.
Oct. 29 & Oct. 30 at 7:30pm
Walker Art Center · Calhoun Isles
Tituba, the enslaved woman accused at Salem, takes the stage in neon and shadow. Dorothée Munyaneza moves and sings her story into being, with the audience seated right onstage.
October 29 at 8pm
Roxy's Cabaret · Central Minneapolis • $10
Drag all-stars enter lip-sync combat at Roxy's Cabaret. Expect big wigs, bigger drama, and performers battling song by song for glory and your cheers.
October 29 at 5pm +3
Open Eye Theatre · Phillips • $15-$35
Lizzie Borden takes an axe to her own legend in this punk-rock revenge fantasy. Four powerhouse performers and a live band turn America's most infamous trial into a queer, rebellious riot.
October 31 (This weekend)
The Parkway Theater · Nokomis
The Pope of Trash holds court on Halloween weekend. John Waters brings his gleefully filthy one-man show to the Parkway, with DJ Jake Rudh spinning Waters-inspired tunes to warm up the room.
October 30 at 7pm
Roxy's Cabaret · Central Minneapolis • $15
It's just a bunch of Hocus Pocus, darling. Queens channel the Sanderson Sisters with lip-syncs, spooky sing-alongs, and plenty of camp while you dine, then stick around for photos with the cast.
Browse Minneapolis 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.
