Will you be leaning into the spooky or snuggly this month? The best thing is you don’t have to choose and you can do it all.
Make Things With Your Hands
Are you in a creative slump? Join a free, 12-week creative practice group working their way through Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way” at Make Well studio. The program kicks off Oct. 1 and meets every other Thursday. No artistic experience required.
Watch a (Surprise) Scary Movie
The new Nocturne Film Society is a scary movie club with a twist: Every month, view a horror, thriller, or cult classic at Murray Theater, but you won’t know what you’re watching until you arrive. Memberships start at $15.
Remember, It’s Just a Bunch of Hocus Pocus
Celebrate everyone’s favorite Halloween movie, “Hocus Pocus,” by watching it all month long: at Lindsey Gardens on Oct. 2, at the Ballpark at America First Square on Oct. 14, and with the Utah Symphony on Oct. 29-30.
Get Lost in a Good Book
This month was made for book nerds. Start things off with a banned book read-in at The King’s English Bookshop on Oct. 4. Then fill the rest of your calendar with author talks, workshops, and other literary fun at the Utah Humanities Book Festival and Salt Lake Book Festival.
Celebrate Christmas in October
Visit Lake Effect’s “Nightmare Before Christmas” pop-up, which turns the downtown bar into a Tim Burton Halloween Town every Monday through Oct. 26, featuring the Pumpkin King himself. Tickets are $25 per person.
