Orlando’s artsiest Halloween block party happens downtown Thursday evening

The Downtown Art District’s spooky arts party returns Thursday evening with the 16th Annual Día de los Muertos and Monster Party at CityArts.

The evening opens with two dynamic exhibitions: a Día de los Muertos showcase featuring traditional ofrendas and catrina dolls, and a monster-inspired gallery of spooky art by local and international artists.

Outside on Pine Street, the festivities spill into a lively block party with food, drinks, all kinds of performing artists providing entertainment and vendors of Halloween-y items. A frighteningly good time for all.

6 p.m. Thursday, CityArts Orlando, 39 S. Magnolia Ave., downtownartsdistrict.com/ddlm, free.
