Saturday
You wanna be startin' somethin'!? Well, A Social Mess certainly does and is hosting the Halloween Boonanza at the Buckhead Theatre and honoring the late Michael Jackson. The group’s site said, “We're calling all dancing zombies, pretty young things, smooth criminals, Billie Jean lovers, moonwalkers, dirty girls named Diana, and men in the mirror to come heal the world.” The Boonanza includes a $1,004.00 costume contest, Hottest Single Mom Contest, Thriller flash mob, midnight champagne countdown, and “some of the oddest entertainment we can hire.”
After the 5K at noon, enjoy a sampling of more than 100 beers from local and national craft breweries and food from local neighborhood haunts. Tickets include a spooky commemorative tasting glass. Since it is the Saturday before Halloween costumes are encouraged, but not required. As one of the final events of Atlanta Beer Week expect some special witches’ brews.
