The Halloween Hootenanny at Natalie's Grandview

Natalie's Grandview turns both of its stages over to the Halloween Hootenanny on Saturday, October 31, 2026, starting at 8:00 p.m. Admission is general admission across the whole building, so guests can wander between the Music Hall and Charlie's Stage all night.

The gimmick is costumed cover sets from familiar Columbus names. Angela Perley takes on Tom Petty, Magnolia plays Alabama Shakes, Lydia Loveless & Friends tackle the Misfits, and Cousin Simple goes full Weezer. Lily Bloom and the Boos round out a lineup that bounces from heartland rock to horror punk in a single evening.

Costumes are encouraged, and part of the fun is watching local songwriters drop their own material for a night of songs everyone knows. For grown-ups who want a Halloween party built around live music instead of a bar crawl, this is one of the more creative options in town, and Grandview is a short ride from Short North and campus.
