Into its fifth year running, The Bear’s 2017 Halloween Howler brings California punk rock outfit The Offspring to Edmonton Oct. 27 with guests Ryan Stock and AmberLynn and DJ Harman B. This one is for anyone who grew up in the ‘80s or ‘90s listening to “Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)” and “You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid.” Make sure you dress in costume too, because there will be thousands of dollars in costume and door prizes up for grabs.
There’s plenty of fantastic art to check out here, with three exhibits taking place during the festival. In the Dream Big Plaza outside, there’s A Retrospective, featuring sculptures by Edmonton artist Susan Owen Kagan. On the lower level, artist Glenn Guillet’s work will be display. Finally, in the Partnership Gallery, there will be works of art by more than 50 Edmonton students. The pieces were selected from more than 1,000 submissions by students of all ages.
