The Hopkinton Center for the Arts (HCA) located at 98 Hayden Rowe announces an exciting schedule of events for all ages for their 7th annual "Wicked Weekend" happening over two weekends October 18-20 and 25-27. All of the money raised from the events will go to HCA and other partnering non-profit organizations.
The hallmark event will span six nights over two weekends: The Haunt" Wedding at Deadwoodville". In the woods of the Metrowest YMCA, the co-host of this event, guests will be given a walking tour of the ghostly town with lots of interactive elements and become part of the celebration of a Deadwoodville wedding. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
HCA will also be hosting the 2nd annual "Wicked Pickle", a costumed pickleball tournament. People of all ages and abilities are encouraged to wear a costume and join the pickleball craze! This event will run during the day on Saturday October 26th.
For adults only, HCA is offering a Halloween Costume dance concert headlining the Scott Brown & The Diplomats band on Saturday October 26th.
On Sunday October 27th, the HCA's beloved annual 5k (with a Wee Wicked Dash for little ones), will take place starting at 1pm. Named a "Top Twenty Halloween Fun Run in New England" - Boston Magazine
