We have no idea which of “businesses” mentioned are actually condoning this Hallow’s Eve event but we have all seen the end-of-semester Hillsborough Hike render the street in a teaming chaos. I can also attest to the saturation of police officers that the city will provide, both marked and undercover, ready to arrest those violating open container and property laws. This fact alone will make it tough for the event to rival the Chapel Hill bohemian energy or the ECU anarchy.
It’s time to make traveling to ECU or Chapel Hill for Halloween a thing of the past. The Hillsborough Street Businesses are teaming up with student organizations to create a party similar to the Hillsborough Hike on Halloween Night. From Sadlacks to East Village, businesses will be open and serving alcohol. A $500 prize will be given to the best costume at East Village as well (1:45 am). If you’re interested in the costume contest, judges will be placed throughout all the businesses, so be sure to make the entire hike! Lets start a new tradition now…Get the word out, tell all your friends, the Party is in Raleigh this Halloween!
