Halloween in Downtown Memphis


Continuing my posts about Halloween events downtown, the Rumba Room will have a costume contest on Halloween at 11pm, 303 S. Main. $300 prize. And, as always, there will also be lots of salsa-ing going on.

Raiford's, which is actually now called Hollywood Disco (I just cannot call it that) might be the best place to be on Halloween. Last year they had a costume contest but there is nothing on their website so far about Halloween. It doesn't matter, it's always Halloween at Raiford's. 115 Vance.

K&M,
It is a Jack O' Lantern, though it is a plastic one with lights and not a traditional one. Did you really not know this? Maybe this is a weird concept outside of the U.S. Here is a link about halloween pumpkins:
