A Halloween Hoedown!

  • to This is a past program

Mountain folks converge on the Hammer Museum courtyard for this down-home Halloween! Barn-dance the night away with live bluegrass from Joshua Tree, California’s Shadow Mountain Band. Enter your Halloween decorations in a contest for great prizes—JP Craft Captain will supply everything you need to make your own creepy crafts. Plus, your hostess Darlin’ will serve up drag hospitality in gingham as you enjoy the cash bar and seasonal menu at the Café Hammer. Costumes encouraged… think Westwood Hillbillies!

Public programs are made possible, in part, by a major gift from Ann and Jerry Moss. 

Additional support is provided by Bronya and Andrew Galef, Good Works Foundation and Laura Donnelley, an anonymous donor, and the Hammer Programs Committee.
