Happy Fall everyone! As this spooky season rolls out, so do a ton of fun events for date nights, family outings, or a Halloween style evening on the town!
The Rutherford Arts Alliance is gearing up for the second annual Theatre Crawl on Friday, October 14th from 5 to 8 pm! This year at the Historic Oaklands Mansion, the Theatre Crawl takes on an excited energy as we host eight Rutherford County Theatre troupes in a night of performing arts. The Crawl will feature two local food trucks, “I Take It” BBQ and “Grady’s” classic carnival treats. Sit on the lawn with a bottle of wine and listen to live music before heading on a spooky tour of the mansion as each theatre troupe performs ghostly scenes from room to room. Don’t forget to come in costume and bring your candy buckets to collect treats along the way! This is a pay what you can, family friendly event. We hope to see you there October 14th!
