Tampa Bay’s number one family-friendly Halloween event, Creatures of the Night, returns eerier than ever this fall. Perfect for all ages, the frightful, fun-filled event features howling outdoor experiences, amusing shows, spooky characters, creepy culinary treats and much more on thirteen select nights through October 26!
This year’s event features a new colossal adventure, Mesozoic Mayhem, a bone-chilling scare zone where ancient beasts roam once more and chaos ensues after scientists tamper with nature. Guests encounter life-size dinosaurs, creating an atmosphere filled with excitement and just the right amount of fright that proves that eerie fun never goes extinct.

Creatures of the Night takes place on 13 select nights in September and October from 4pm to 10pm.

Enjoy an enchanting evening under the stars, where the timeless music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart will set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Following live performances of some of Mozart's beloved arias and ensembles, you will indulge in a gourmet meal inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Naples, Italy.

Be part of history at the regional premiere of Tori Sampson’s groundbreaking play, Cadillac Crew, running from September 6–16 at The Studio@620. This co-production unites Powerstories Theatre and The Studio@620—two trailblazing, community-driven theatres—for the very first time. Cadillac Crew serves as the grand finale of Powerstories’ 25th anniversary season and launches The Studio@620’s 2025–26 season, marking a powerful handoff between legacies.

Set in 1963 Virginia, the play follows four women activists working behind the scenes of the Civil Rights Movement—asking what happens when women’s voices, courage, and leadership are erased from history.

Though rooted in the past, the play speaks directly to now: whose voices are amplified, whose stories are missing, and what it takes to claim space in the fight for equality.

The production is accompanied by community conversations, film screenings, and the visual art exhibition, all designed to deepen the dialogue and honor women whose work has shaped change.

• Hidden Figures Screening 10/12 @6pm – Green Light Cinema
• Behind the Story 10/19 @ 3pm – The Studio@620
• Members First Look 10/25 – The Studio@620
• The Unseen Thread, Women Art as Movement Exhibition Opening 10/30 – The Studio@620
