Get your FreakFest on tomorrow in Tompkins Square Park

From the EV Grieve inbox...


HALLOWEEN FREAKFEST (Part IV) is part of a series of FREE shows that celebrate the vitality and creativity of the counter cultural scene that has survived on the L.E.S., despite the rampant gentrification, soaring rents and lost venues that have contributed to the cultural genocide sweeping New York City.

HALLOWEEN FREAKFEST
Saturday, 1 till 7 pm
Tompkins Square Park
Costumes encouraged!
