One of the questions we are often asked is “is there anything fun to do for 4th of July/Labor Day/Halloween/President’s Day in Pittsburgh?” Well, we may never have a good answer for how to celebrate President’s Day but we do have some answers for Halloween. This year there are a TON of great ways to celebrate Halloween.

The fun loving folks from Mad Mex are putting together a big bad Halloween party for Monday, October 31st – at the new, super large and super great Mad Mex Location in Shadyside. $20 gets you in the door and includes snacks a plenty. Costume contests, DJ and drink specials.

Yes, its true the Carneige Science Center has a laser show set to Lady Gaga, appropriately named Laser Gaga. In honor of Halloween and all things lady Gaga – the Science Center is hosting a Laser Gaga Costume Contest – put on your best poker face and head down to the science center – there will be prizes for the best costumes.

Please note the fine print on this one – sorry folks – don’t wear meat to the science center:

While we encourage your costumes to be creative, they must be appropriate for a family-friendly establishment.

Costumes must NOT feature organic materials such as raw meat, anything alive, expose skin in a provocative manner, or use offensive language or graphics.

Any masks worn should not cover the entire face.

Carnegie Science Center has the right to refuse any costume that it deems inappropriate.
