HAVEN HALLOWEEN: Beyond the Veil
Phase 2: October 31 & November 1, 2025

What happens when the veil between worlds begins to thin?

This Halloween weekend, the Haven invites you to a two-night immersive experience where ancestral remembrance meets visionary art. Following our Phase 1: The Unveiling, we now open the next chapter in The Haven’s evolution: Phase 2: Beyond the Veil. This is a descent into the sacred, the surreal, and the unseen; bring your costume and your creativity!

Friday night features our Haven Halloween Costume Contest with prizes for originality, flair, and spookiness. Saturday’s Día de los Muertos celebration invites you to honor your ancestors with ceremony, music, and a community altar built as a loving, creative collaboration with one another.

Additionally, all our kid-friendly programming is free and open to all! Enjoy family trick-or-treating and a special screening of Coco that celebrates the magic of music, family, and remembrance.

Throughout the weekend, you're invited to contribute to our community ofrenda: a shared altar space for photos, flowers, candles, and mementos that honor the ancestors we treasure. Join us as we go beyond the veil!

Join us for a vibrant fusion of Halloween, Samhain, and Día de los Muertos, converging traditions through candlelit ceremony, global music, immersive art, and community joy!
