Colorado Springs events this week

Last updated 2d ago · 30 upcoming

Halloween weekend lands on a Friday this year, which means the whole week tips into costume-and-chaos mode before Saturday even shows up. Thirty events are on the board, and the Friday, October 30 slate alone is doing a lot of heavy lifting: live music, a true crime show, a murder mystery party with a s'more bar, and a sound bath if you need to decompress before the weekend gets loud. Black Sheep is basically hosting its own mini-festival with back-to-back Wednesday 13 shows. Stargazers has SofaKillers. Summa Taphouse keeps it chill with Randy Stephens & the Groove Makers. Pikes Peak Center is going full orchestral horror with the Philharmonic's Edward Scissorhands score. If hockey's more your speed, Ed Robson Arena has Colorado College taking on Minnesota Duluth. And Saturday rolls straight into a trick-or-treat makers market if you've got kids or just like candy. Check the forecast before you commit to any outdoor plans — this is still Colorado, and October doesn't play fair. Scroll down for the full lineup.

    Friday, October 30 is stacked: Black Sheep has two different Wednesday 13 shows, Stargazers Theatre hosts SofaKillers, and Painting with a Twist is running both a true crime show and a murder mystery party with a s'more bar. Saturday shifts toward family-friendly with a trick-or-treat makers market at Everyday Girl Adventures.

  • Is there live music this week?

    Yes. Summa Taphouse has Randy Stephens & the Groove Makers on Friday, and Black Sheep and Stargazers Theatre & Event Center both have shows the same night.

    Spooktacular Saturday at Everyday Girl Adventures covers that, with a trick-or-treat boo-tique and makers market on October 31. Most of the Friday lineup skews adult, so Saturday's your better bet for kids.

  • What if I want something relaxing instead of a party?
