Patch's 5 Top Picks for Weekend Events in North Brooklyn

WILLIAMSBURG-GREENPOINT, NY — Looking for something to do this weekend in north Brooklyn? Whether you want to get spooky at Halloween festivities or take a break from ghouls and goblins, we've got you covered.

Here are five top picks from Patch:

Friday, Oct. 28

Beat Nite Greenpoint: Check out the 15th edition of this highly anticipated, bi-annual late night gallery hop. Beat Nite was first started in 2009 by curator Jason Andrew and the creative team of Norte Maar to showcase the growing arts community of Bushwick. In 2015, the event started to feature artists from areas of Brooklyn and beyond. Throngs of people will participate in the self-guided tour of featured galleries and alternative art spaces from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Check out the Beat Nite Map here.

Day of the Dead Party: Join fellow party-goers on the Williamsburg rooftop of the McCarren Hotel to celebrate "Day of the Dead" with Corona with a live mariachi band and more. Guests can enjoy complimentary face painting, seasonal decorations, drink specials, different types of tacos, and trick or treat bags with house made candies. The event starts at 5 p.m. and goes all the way until 1 a.m. and there's no cover.

Saturday, Oct. 29

Stranger Things Halloween Party: Are you a fan of the Netflix hit "Stranger Things?" You're not the only one. Videology Bar & Cinema is bringing back the '80s in a big way, with an endless loop of '80s cinema that influenced the show playing as you dance the night away. Come out and enjoy classic midwestern beer, Tab soda, Dungeons & Dragons, and more surprises. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the night will go until the party stops.

Fearless: A Halloween Fundraiser for the Anti-Violence Project: Head out to Bar Matchless for this party with a purpose — to raise money for The Anti-Violence Project. Live music performances will continue through the night, and a costume contest, art show, and DJ set are also planned. Tickets are $10 online and $15 at the door.

Sunday, Oct. 30

Fall Market Urban Spookfest: Celebrate the fall season with food, live music and free activities while browsing local crafted items and admiring views of the East River and Manhattan skyline from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Greenpoint Loft.
