Halloween Bash at Crystal Lake's Raue Center promises fun for kids and adults alike

Games, escape room and the Dead Man's Carnival highlight Oct. 26 event

Looking for a great Halloween event?

Raue Center is now gearing up the festivities for this year's Haloween Bash. On October 26, join Raue Center in welcoming back Dead Man's Carnival, a turn-of-the-century Vaudeville show with American roots that will feature music, sideshow acts, and fascinating entertainment including the return of last year's hugely popular flame juggler, sword swallower, and more!

Raue Center's 2019 Halloween Bash will also offer delicious food, Tarot card readings, specialty cocktails, family entertainment, and special treats. Kids will have a blast, too! Children of all ages can work together or individually to solve clues and collect stamps in their passbook.

Raue Center is bringing several new activities to the event this year. It will partner with EscapeQuest in Crystal Lake to offer "The Great Ghost Escape", a spooky interactive ghost adventure for all ages. Explore the theater while solving puzzles and unlocking the big mystery.

Halloween-themed 'minute-to-win-it' games will be offered throughout the evening for the chance to win fun prizes, including free tickets to Raue Center programming. Bring your friends and family - everyone will be DYING to participate!

Best of all, this terrific fundraiser offers a chance to put a pie in the face of local notables from the community. Teams of 2 can even enter for $10 - a coin toss determines who throws the pie and who takes it in the face, but you can save yourself by raising the bid. It's all in the name of fun and funds for the arts!

Tickets are $35 for adults, $15 for kids 18 and under. A discounted $85 family pass is a great option for 2 adults and 2 children ($10 for each extra child). For more information about Raue Center's Halloween Bash, please contact:
