Halloween Drag Night

Thursday, October 31st at 8pm

Bowlero Lanes & Lounge

Who doesn’t love a Halloween drag show? Plus, it’s at a bowling alley, so it really doesn’t get much better than that. If you’ve never been to Bowlero before, it feels like you’ve stepped back in time when you walk in. It has a 1970s vibe, so it will be fun to see drag queens slay there.
