Detroit's Halloween events are in full swing, with a plethora of spooky fun for all ages. This weekend, the city will come alive with celebrity guests, vendors, and performances at Huntington Place during Youmacon, a 20-year-old anime and pop culture convention. Cosplayers will be the real stars of the show, showcasing their intricate costumes made by hand.
Youmacon runs from October 30 to November 2, with various events and activities taking place throughout the weekend. Fans can expect celebrity guests, musical performances, and more, but it's the cosplay that's always a highlight.
Meanwhile, the Insane Clown Posse will be bringing their signature brand of horrorcore hip-hop to Detroit's Masonic Temple on Halloween night for their 32nd annual Hallowicked show. The event promises a stellar lineup of surprise guests, and it'll also be live-streamed online, so fans can experience the chaos from the comfort of their own homes.
For those looking for something family-friendly, Ford is hosting a Halloween party at its Michigan Central Station, featuring "trunk-or-treating," mask-making, face-painting, and a special edition of DJ Dez Andrés' performance series. The event is free and open to all ages.
Adults, meanwhile, can get their monster mash on at Northern Lights Lounge, where Marcellus Pittman will be spinning his signature Detroit house music tracks. DJs Etta, Duck Trash, DR. Disko Dust, MGUN, Ryan Spencer, Scott Zacharias, and Todd Modes will also be joining the party.
To round out the Halloween festivities, a bar crawl is set to roll through downtown Detroit on Friday and Saturday nights, featuring drinks included, no cover charges, food and drink specials, and even professional photography. The event starts at 4 pm both nights.

, I'm loving all these Halloween events in Detroit! Back in my day (you know, like a million years ago 
), we didn't have all these fancy cosplay competitions and anime conventions. But hey, it's cool that the kids are into that sorta thing now.
, especially with Marcellus Pittman spinning those Detroit house tracks.
the cosplay scene there tho 
it's like, wow! i wish i could join in on the fun but my schedule is all messed up this week lol. anyway, looks like Ford is throwing a family-friendly party that seems super fun for kids 
and Northern Lights Lounge is gonna be lit with all those DJs 
. can't wait to see the pics from that bar crawl on Instagram 
. Meanwhile, the Insane Clown Posse's Hallowicked show at the Masonic Temple sounds like a wild ride 
, and I'm also down for some family-friendly fun at Ford's Michigan Central Station, especially with "trunk-or-treating" and face-painting 
! And a bar crawl through downtown on Friday and Saturday nights? Sign me up for some spooky fun and drinks with friends 
. Can't wait to see what other Halloween shenanigans Detroit has in store 
. Did you know that cosplay accounts for over 60% of all costumes worn at anime conventions? 
And speaking of numbers, it's estimated that over 20 million Americans will attend a costume party this Halloween season 
. With over 10 million ICP fans worldwide, it's gonna be a wild ride 
.
! And let's not forget, Detroit's events like Youmacon are proof that our city can be a hub for creativity and self-expression 
. It's almost as if the city is saying, "We're not just about manufacturing, we're about making things happen too!" 
meanwhile, icp is bringing that horrorcore energy to masonic temple on halloween night and its gonna be LIVID 
. Like, have you seen the prices for tickets to Youmacon lately? It's like they're asking people to fork over their entire paycheck 
. Still, I guess that's just part of the experience, right? And hey, there are some awesome family-friendly events too, like Ford's Halloween party 
and that bar crawl sounds like so much fun 
just read that a major water main break in Detroit is causing massive flooding and power outages across the city 
... meanwhile, all these fun Halloween events are happening 
... and of course, the flooding is probably going to ruin some of the events too 
... great 
and if u r feelin family-friendly vibes, ford's halloween party sounds like a blast with trunk-or-treating and all that jazz
