FRIDAY 10/26

Dress in your best costumes for the photo booth (you know, pics or it didn't happen). If you work up an appetite while dancing the night away, the Parilla Grill Taco Truck will be there serving delicious tacos to wash down with specialty AVID ciders. 8pm-12:30am. AVID Cider Co., 550 SW Industrial Way, Suite 190, Bend. Free. Ages 21+.

If you missed Worthy's Halloween party last year — well, you missed out. Don't let it happen again. It would be a sad, sad thing. Enjoy live performances by Lyrics Born, local DJs and more.

SATURDAY 10/27
HALLOWEEN W/ THE RITUAL
TRIBUTE TO THE BAND GHOST

If you're not familiar with Swedish heavy metal band Ghost, they play gothic metal while dressed rather eccentrically. Lead singer Tobias Forge has donned costumes resembling a demonic pope and, more recently, portrays the character "Cardinal Copia." Local band The Ritual will pay tribute to Ghost just in time for Halloween. 8:30pm. Hub City Bar & Grill, 2498 S. Highway 97, Suite E, Redmond.
