BOOgie Down Bronx Halloween Bash in New York

Are you ready for the Nuyorican Poets Cafe’s 53rd Anniversary? We originally planned to host this year’s Halloween Anniversary celebration at our newly renovated home, but when you’re revamping a nearly two-century old building, delays and unforeseen circumstances are bound to happen. We’re now looking forward to reopening our doors in mid-2027. In the meantime, some incredible community organizations have stepped up to help us make sure this Halloween celebration is still one for the books! A huge shoutout to @bxmusic, @loisaidainc.center, and all of our participating vendors and collaborators for coming together for a night of remembrance, community, and most importantly, a little fright! From 3-6PM, families can enjoy Indoor Trick-or-Treating, a Costume Pageant/Open Mic, Bilingual Children’s Story Hour, Face Painting, an Ofrenda Altar by Viajero, Family Portraits, and vendors from local community organizations. Stick around after 6PM for a theater performance by @TheBobbySanabria Big Band, special guests, an Alter Activation Ceremony by Pepe Flores, music by @DasoMonster, @LaBrujaNYC revisiting “Poe-Rican,” and special costume prizes! Food and alcoholic beverages will also be available for our guests. While we’re disappointed that we can’t welcome our friends and family back into our home venue just yet, we’re determined to make our 53rd Anniversary a night to remember. Join us at Bronx Music Hall on October 31st from 3-9PM and be a part of Nuyorican history!
