Candlelight Open Air: A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics
Vibe
Candlelit string quartet plays Halloween classics at Mt. Helix—family-friendly, seats go fast
Families and movie-music fans show up for the spooky-but-soft candlelight vibe rather than a raucous party. The string quartet turns recognizable themes (Michael Jackson, Ghostbusters, Psycho, Harry Potter) into a 90-minute haunted singalong. Doors close 5 minutes before, and you’ll be trolleyed to the amphitheater; under 16 needs an adult.
