The Weekend 5

"What are we going to do this weekend?" We have an answer for you! Each week Visit Indy publishes five can't-miss events for the upcoming weekend. Save yourself the trouble of checking back by getting The Weekend 5 sent directly to your inbox each Thursday morning.

"The Horseman comes, and tonight he comes for you." You never know who or what is lurking around the corner during the annual week-long celebration in the city named for author Washington Irving. In addition to a large parade and street fair Saturday, the festival includes spine-chilling tales and a reading of Irving's classic "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" at A Night Out in Sleepy Hollow, a Zombie Bike Ride, and the Vampire Run. Locations and costs vary.

Remember and celebrate friends and relatives who have passed on at this day-long event at the Eiteljorg. With help from Arte Mexicano en Indiana and Nopal Cultural, you'll immerse yourself in vibrant traditions with live music and dance performances, art, craft projects, a Catrina parade, and demonstrations that explore the rich history of the holiday. Admission is free.

Let your wildest dreams guide you as you sip a brew and create bracelets with fellow Swifties. Your $5 ticket provides everything you need to make your masterpiece. Try the new All Too Whale apple cider seltzer or Who's Afraid of Little Old Bee honey German-style ale. Still need more of a creative Taylor fix? Come back Saturday for Swift Era Pints & Painting. Your $30 ticket includes painting materials and guidance. Your gorgeous finished product won't be a picture to burn. All guests must be 21 or over.

Are you fearless? This fang-tastic party is packed with slightly spooky entertainment for all ages. Go trick-or-treating and decorate your bag, have your tarot cards read, get your face painted, listen to the dueling pianos, play games, and show your style, bejeweled or not, in the costume contest to win a prize. Admission is free.

Hey, lovers. Are you psyched for Taylor Swift's visit to Indy? The Skyline Club is hosting a fabulous, over-the-top, Taylor-themed buffet and drag brunch Saturday. You'll be enchanted by host Ana Crusis (pictured) and her pals Pat Yo Weave, Neon Van Ryan, Aura Aurora, Aria Amethyst, and MJ Banks. All ages are welcome, but those 21 and over can enjoy bottomless mimosas with no champagne problems. Tickets are $65.
