Halloween, First Friday and Art This Week in Roxborough
Here's what's going on this week in Manayunk and Roxborough.
Wine, Cheese and Halloween: It's the season at the Schuylkill Center on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. for all things ghoulish. They'll uncork a bottle of wine and share the weirdly wonderful stories of scary animals and plants: the lethal weed that killed Abe Lincoln's mother, the truth behind vampire bats, a massive wasp that feeds on—gulp!—tarantulas, and the world's deadliest animal. They'll also meet two very Halloween-ish characters—a vulture and a great horned owl—live and in person. It's a special adults-only celebration of that master of the macabre, Mother Nature.
Registration required. $18 (Schuylkill members $15)
