Where to Celebrate Halloween in Detroit , 2022 #DetroitFood
Sip tequila while having your tarot read, explore the dark side of tiki, carve pumpkins at the Old Miami, and more
Nobody but nobody Halloweens like Detroiters. The gloomy weather, the dark city streets, the love of all things haunted and haunting…this town is ready-made for fall festivities on the spookier side. From scary movie showings at an east side tiki bar to super-saccharine milkshakes to pumpkin carving contests, metro Detroit’s bars and restaurants are offering plenty of chances to celebrate the season.
Have your tarot read by a pro
Tarot readings are popping up all over town this October. Check out Tarot and Tequila at Abick’s Bar in southwest Detroit every Thursday this month, with a unique tequila cocktail each week. Or head to the Old Miami on Saturdays for readings by Mizz Cyndi.
Indulge your sweet tooth
