Detroit's Halloween festivities are in full swing this week, with a variety of events for all ages and interests. For fans of anime and pop culture, Youmacon is the ultimate destination, celebrating its 20th year at Huntington Place. The convention boasts celebrity guests, vendors, musical performances, and an incredible cosplay scene where attendees can showcase their handmade costumes.

Youmacon takes place from October 30 to November 2, with ticket prices starting at $75 for a one-day pass. Head to youmacon.com to secure your spot among the thousands of anime and pop culture enthusiasts who flock to Detroit every year.

However, Why settle for just one night of Halloween celebrations when you can roll through Detroit with fellow travelers on a bar crawl? This event, which starts at Bookie's Bar & Grille on Friday and Saturday, promises drinks included, no covers at bars, food and drink specials, and even photos documented by a professional photographer. Check in from 4-6 p.m. on October 31 and November 1 to join the fun.

Ford is also getting into the spirit with its Halloween party at Michigan Central Station. Kids will enjoy "trunk-or-treating" outside of decorated Ford vehicles, while adults can indulge in face-painting, mask-making, and other hands-on activities. The historic train station-turned-community hub will be transformed into a spooky spectacle on Friday, October 31.

For fans of the Insane Clown Posse, the Masonic Temple is the place to be on Halloween night. The Wicked Clowns are promising an epic lineup of surprise guests, with their 32nd annual Hallowicked show kicking off at 6:30 p.m. on October 31. And, for those who can't make it to the temple, the event will also be live-streamed on veeps.com.

Lastly, Northern Lights Lounge is hosting a Halloween DJ night headlined by Marcellus Pittman, one of Detroit's biggest names in house music. The monster mash promises to be an unforgettable night with costumes encouraged and a stacked lineup of DJs, including DJ Etta, Duck Trash, DR. Disko Dust, MGUN, Ryan Spencer, Scott Zacharias, and Todd Modes.

So, don your best costume, grab some friends, and get ready to paint the town red (or purple, or orange – you get the idea!) this Halloween weekend in Detroit!
 
omg u guys i cant wait for halloween this yr! detroit is literally becoming a destination for pop culture lovers 🤩🎃 i mean who needs anime con when ur can have a whole city of haunted bars, haunted train stations, and haunted temples 🕷️🔮 like what even is better than youmacon? 🤔 the bar crawl sounds lit too! 🍻💥 and dont even get me started on fords halloween party 🎃🚂 but seriously, detroit knows how to throw a spooky party 🎉
 
I just love Halloweens... so much fun 🎃🕷️. I was thinking about Youmacon and how cool it is that they have a cosplay scene. Do people really make their own costumes? Like, from scratch? 🤔 That would take forever to do, right? And what's the deal with all these different types of events in Detroit? A bar crawl sounds like so much fun, but wouldn't you get a little bored just going from one bar to another? 🍺😴. I also heard that Ford is having some kind of Halloween party at Michigan Central Station, but I'm not really sure what it's about. Is it for kids or adults only? 🤷‍♀️ And who's this Marcellus Pittman guy? Never heard of him before... is he like a big deal in Detroit music scenes? 💃
 
OMG 🤩 I'm so down for a Halloween party in Detroit this year! Youmacon is gonna be lit, can't wait to see all the epic cosplay and meet some of my fave celebs. And who needs just one night of festivities when you can roll through the whole city with friends? The bar crawl sounds like a blast, with drinks included and photos documented by a pro photographer 📸. And let's not forget about Ford's trunk-or-treating for kids and the mask-making for adults... it's gonna be a spooky spectacle at Michigan Central Station! I'm also stoked to see Marcellus Pittman and other big names in house music at Northern Lights Lounge on Halloween night 🎶. Can't wait to paint the town red (or purple, or orange...) this weekend!
 
I'm getting a bit old for all these raves but I gotta say, Detroit's got it goin' on this Halloween! The city's energy is infectious 🎃. I mean, Youmacon's been goin' on for 20 years now and it's still the bomb dot com for anime and pop culture fans. And that bar crawl? Sounds like a blast with drinks included and no covers at bars... sounds like my kinda night out! 🍻 But what really gets me is Ford transformin' Michigan Central Station into a spooky spectacle on Halloween night. I'm a kid from the '60s, but even I can appreciate the magic of it all ✨. And hey, if you're an Insane Clown Posse fan, the Masonic Temple's got some wicked stuff goin' on too... even if I don't always understand that sorta thing 🤪. All in all, it looks like this Halloween weekend is shapin' up to be one for the books, folks!
 
I'm so not sure why people are flocking to these events... I mean, isn't it just going to be a bunch of overpriced tickets and crowded bars? 🤦‍♂️ And don't even get me started on the cosplay scene - just more people showing off their weird costumes and taking selfies. It's all just so... extra. And what's with the Insane Clown Posse event? Just another excuse for old people to dress up in clown makeup and try to relive their glory days 🎂. The only thing that's "unforgettable" is how broke everyone will be after this weekend is over...
 
🎃👻 Just thinkin', what's up with all these events comin' up? Youmacon's been goin' on for 20 years and it's still poppin'! 🤩 But, honestly, Detroit's just tryin' to get into the Halloween spirit, right? From conventions to bar crawls to haunted train stations...it's like the city's one big ol' party. And who doesn't love a good costume, am I right? 😂 The Insane Clown Posse's gonna bring some serious energy to that Masonic Temple show and Marcellus Pittman's gonna get this Halloween DJ night lit 🔥🎶
 
omg u guys i'm so down for detroit's halloween festivities this year but have u considered that some of these events r super pricey lol like $75 for a one day pass at youmacon?? that's like, half a paycheck. and why do we need to pay extra for drinks included at the bar crawl? can't they just make it free or something?

anywayz i heard the halloween party at michigan central station sounds lit! "trunk-or-treating" outside of decorated ford vehicles is so cool i wanna take my little sis there. and the face-painting and mask-making activities are gonna be a great way to get into the spooky spirit.

i'm also hyped for the insane clown posse's hallowicked show at the masonic temple it's been a detroit staple for years and i've always wanted to see them live. but, like, who can afford that kinda price tag?
 
I'm kinda stoked about all these Halloween events happening in Detroit. I mean, who doesn't love a good excuse to dress up and let loose? But what really got me thinking is how they're making it accessible for everyone. Like, if you can't make it to Youmacon, there's still the bar crawl and the Ford party that's all about fun, not just costumes. And, I know some people might be worried about safety, but with a professional photographer documenting everything at the bar crawl, it seems like they've got that covered too. Plus, you can catch some of the events live on veeps.com if you can't make it in person. All in all, it sounds like Detroit is ready to put on one epic Halloween party 🎃👻
 
🎃 So, Detroit is going all out for Halloween... because, of course they are. I mean, who needs original ideas when you've got a tried-and-true formula that involves bars, parties, and creepy decorations? 🤣 But hey, at least the people have fun, right? And Youmacon is always a highlight, even if it's just an excuse to wear silly costumes and pretend you're not 30 years old. 🕷️
 
man, have you ever thought about how our societies celebrate holidays like halloween? it's like we're all just trying to distract ourselves from the void of existence, you know? we dress up in costumes, pretend to be someone else for a night, and just go wild... meanwhile, the emptiness inside us is still there, just waiting to pounce. but hey, i guess that's what makes halloween so cool, right? it's like we're all just one big, messy experiment, trying to find our place in this crazy world 🤪
 
I'm so hyped for Halloween in Detroit this year 🎃🔥! I mean, where else can you find a whole convention dedicated to anime and pop culture? Youmacon is like the mecca for fans of that stuff. But, let's be real, who needs just one night of celebrations when you can roll through the city with friends and make it a weekend-long party?! 🎉 The bar crawl sounds like so much fun, especially with drinks included and professional photographers to capture all the memories.

And, I love how Ford is getting into the spirit by hosting some family-friendly activities at Michigan Central Station. "Trunk-or-treating" outside of decorated cars? Genius! It's a great way for kids (and let's be real, adults too) to enjoy the spooky atmosphere without being too scary.

I'm also super stoked about the Insane Clown Posse's Hallowicked show at the Masonic Temple. Their concerts are always so much fun and I'm sure this one will be epic. And, for those who can't make it in person, the live stream on Veeps.com is a great option too.

Lastly, Northern Lights Lounge's Halloween DJ night with Marcellus Pittman sounds like an unforgettable night! Who doesn't love house music? It's going to be such a blast, I'm already planning my outfit and playlist 🎶. Bring it on, Detroit!
 
Ugh, I'm so over how much stuff is going on this year's Halloween celebrations 🎃🤯 and how crowded it's gonna be at Youmacon. 20 years?!?! that's just crazy talk...I mean, I love a good anime convention as much as the next person, but $75 for a one-day pass? Are you kidding me? That's like, what, half a tank of gas in Detroit right now? 🤑

And don't even get me started on the bar crawl. Like, sure, drinks included and no covers at bars sounds awesome, but have you seen the lines for Bookie's Bar & Grille on a Friday night already?! 😂 It's gonna be like trying to navigate a parking lot of drunk people on New Year's Eve.

But, I gotta say, Ford's Halloween party is kinda cool. I mean, who doesn't love trunk-or-treating in decorated cars? And the fact that they're letting adults have face-painting and mask-making parties at Michigan Central Station? That's like, the ultimate Detroit experience right there. 🚂

And Insane Clown Posse's Hallowicked show is always a thing, even if it can get pretty wild 😳. But, I'm so down for Northern Lights Lounge's Halloween DJ night with Marcellus Pittman - that's gonna be a real party! 💃🏽
 
I'm telling ya, 20 years of Youmacon and it's still not as big as I thought it'd be 🤔🎉. I mean, I love anime and all that, but $75 for a one-day pass? That's kinda steep, you know? On the other hand, a bar crawl sounds like so much fun! 🍻🎃 I'm gonna check out Bookie's Bar & Grille on Friday and Saturday, no cover charges, drinks included, food specials... what more could you ask for?! 😂 But then again, my friend's cousin went last year and said it was super crowded and chaotic, so maybe I'll think twice about that one 🤷‍♂️. Oh wait, and the Insane Clown Posse party at the Masonic Temple? That sounds EPIC! 🔥🎃 I need to see a live stream of that ASAP 👀
 
I'm so hyped for Halloween in Detroit this year 🎃🕷️! I mean, what's not to love? You've got Youmacon, the ultimate anime and pop culture fest 🤖💥, plus bar crawls where you can drink up and have a blast with friends 🍺😂. And don't even get me started on Ford's Halloween party at Michigan Central Station – it sounds like so much fun for kids and adults alike! 👧🏻🚂 The Insane Clown Posse's Hallowicked show is gonna be lit 🔥, and Northern Lights Lounge's DJ night with Marcellus Pittman is gonna get this town dancing 💃🏻. But honestly, the best part is just getting to express yourself through costumes – it's all about having a good time and being creative 🎨. Detroit knows how to throw a Halloween party!
 
Wow 🎃️👻 Detroit's got so many sick Halloween vibes going on this year! From Youmacon for all anime and pop culture fans to the bar crawl for a wild night out, there's something for everyone. And let's not forget about Ford's family-friendly trunk-or-treating at Michigan Central Station 🚂🎃️. I'm totes stoked for Marcellus Pittman's DJ night at Northern Lights Lounge too! The Wicked Clowns are gonna bring the house down with their 32nd annual Hallowicked show 🤡👺. This Halloween weekend in Detroit is gonna be lit 💥!
 
OMG u gotta check out Youmacon in Dtown this yr! It's like a whole other world for anime & pop culture lovers 🤯. I'm low-key obsessed with their cosplay scene - those handmade costumes are EVERYTHING 💖. And the celeb guests? Iconic! If u can score tix (priced at $75 1-day pass, yeah it's steep but worth it!) and make it to Huntington Place, u won't regret it 🎉.

And who needs just one night of Halloween shenanigans when u can roll through the city with a crew on a bar crawl? It's like, what more fun is that?! 🍺🕷️ Drinks included, no covers at bars, and even pro pics - sold! Bookie's Bar & Grille is where it's at.

Ford's got Halloween party vibes goin' on too! "Trunk-or-treating" with the fam sounds like so much fun 🎃, and adults get to enjoy face-painting & mask-makin' - artsy!

If u're an Insane Clown Posse fan (and who isn't? 🤣), Masonic Temple is where it's at! Their Hallowicked show is always lit 💥. And for those who can't make it, the live stream on veeps.com is the next best thing.

Last but not least, Northern Lights Lounge is throwin' a sick Halloween DJ night w/ Marcellus Pittman 🎶! Get ur costume ready & get this party started
 
I'm so over these Halloween events in Detroit. I mean, what's the point of a whole city being all dressed up for one night? Can't people just stay home and watch Netflix like normal? And don't even get me started on the bar crawl - it sounds like a total mess. Who wants to walk around drunk with a bunch of strangers while some guy takes their selfies?

And Ford's Halloween party is just going to be a bunch of kids running around in decorated cars, trying to trick-or-treat. It's not that scary. And the Insane Clown Posse? Please, I've had enough of their over-the-top antics already.

The only decent event looks like Northern Lights Lounge's DJ night, but even that sounds kinda lame. I mean, who wants to stay out all night dancing when you could be sleeping in a real bed?
 
omg what's wrong with people who settle for just one night of halloween celebrations? like, you can do a whole bar crawl on friday and saturday too? and ford is doing trunk-or-treating at michigan central station? that's so cute. but, let's be real, youmacon is the real mvp. 20 years in the making and still going strong 🤩. and, insane clown posse is coming to the masonic temple? that's gonna be lit 🔥. btw, marcellus pittman at northern lights lounge? that's a whole different story 🎶.
 
omg u guys, detroit is literally living its best halloween life this year 🎃😲 i mean, who needs just one night of celebrations when u can roll through the city with friends on a bar crawl? and omg, marcellus pittman is headlining at northern lights lounge... that's gonna be lit 💥🔥
