Here’s the Flyer’s top five for Halloweekend, featuring live theater, trick-or-treating and mob dancing. 

“Hamlet”
7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday
3 p.m. Sunday

Tulsa Shakespeare Company presents the timeless study of grief, power and betrayal at the Lynn Riggs Theatre in the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center.

Leading the cast is Tulsa Flyer social media editor Armando Rivera as Hamlet.

Halloweener Fest

Bring the kids out for a free, fun, family-friendly trunk or treat at 4324 S. Mingo Drive. Dress up your dachshund and join the fun with a wiener dog costume contest and parade featuring some of the best-dressed pups around. There’s also a costume contest and live all-ages pro wrestling. 

Route 66 Monster Mile
Noon to 3 p.m. Saturday

It’s an afternoon of family fun spread across the Market District and Meadow Gold Districts, including a carnival, live music, face painters, balloon twisters, inflatables and more. And lots of trick-or-treating with local businesses all along the Monster Mile.

“Thriller” community mob dance
7 p.m. Saturday

Bring your best Thriller zombie dance moves and take part in a community “Thriller” mob dance in the heart of Broken Arrow just west of Main Street in the courtyard area between the Arts 302 building and AVB Bank. All ages and skill levels are welcome.

Halloween Hang Tulsa
7 p.m. Saturday

It’s Halloween party time at Tulsa VFW, 1109 E. 6th St., with live music from Paul Benjaman, Jesse Aycock, Bo Hallford, Matt Teegarden and who knows who else. There will also be a costume contest, games and more.
