In Hollywood Gothique’s humble opinion, Eek at the Greek is the best non-haunt Halloween event in Los Angeles (see our 2014 Halloween Haunt Awards: Winners). Far from a stuffy rendition of esoteric music, the concert is a joyful and exuberant experience guaranteed to delight parents and children; thanks to a exciting performances of symphonic pieces chosen for their infectious entertainment value, you do not need to be an expert or even have a passing interest in classical music to enjoy Eek at the Greek.
Eek at the Greek begins with a “Trick-or-Treat Village” in the Greek Theatre’s plaza, which offers safe trick-or-treating and Halloween activities from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. The concert begins at 7pm.
The Greek Theatre is located at 2700 North Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90027. Click here for the event’s listing at the Greek website. Click here for the Symphony in the Glen.
