Asians & Friends Halloween Pre-Parade Party
Asians and Friends Chicago will be combining its traditional Halloween Party with Chicago’s Northalsted Halloween Parade. The party will be Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Lucky Horseshoe Lounge, 3169 N. Halsted in Chicago. It’ll be just before the annual Halsted Street parade, where folks in the group will either be marching or watching along the parade route.
The gathering will also serve as a Halloween Dress Up party! Instead of coming in costume or makeup, guests can get ready there at Lucky Horseshoe before the Halloween Parade. Of course, people can just come already dressed up, but maybe they want someone to help with makeup or need some styling advice. AFC members will be there to help.
The event will also be a potluck. Bring whatever dish, side or dessert to share. And of course, there will be spooky games and ghoulish fun. And admission is free.
