Save the Date for GhostChella 2025 👻

Halloween 2025 is going to be one to remember. Save the date for Halloween night 10/31/25, and start getting your costume ideas together! GhostChella is back for a second year, and it promises to be bigger and better than ever before. Grab your besties and head on down to Eagles 34 on Halloween night.

The show will feature three exciting performances from local bands covering national acts. We're thrilled to be presenting this event with Coffee Break Entertainment again this year.

Who would you like to see Alek and I cover this year? Clayton Ryan will be MCing this year so it promises to be a hoot and a holler. See you there! 👻

• We supported our first Album Release Show - congrats D.C. Leonhardt!

• We introduced new events such as Sunday Scaries, Ghostchella, and Samhain.

• We partnered with Coffee Break Entertainment and The Mess Records to bring you more collaborative and exciting events.

• We applied for a St. Louis Park Arts & Culture Grant.
