Family-friendly Halloween night with Day of the Dead craft workshops, a live rock and pop concert, a family Halloween disco and an Afterlife Party Disco hosted by DJ Bone Jovi.
Derby de Los Muertos takes over Derby Market Hall on Saturday 31 October, a family-friendly Halloween night that runs from 5pm to 10pm. It's built around the traditions of Día de los Muertos, so rather than just a spooky party, it's a celebration of music and magic that works for all ages.
The night is held together by resident family disco host DJ Bone Jovi, who keeps the dancefloor going with spooky classics and monster-sized tunes. Around him, ghouls, ghosts and spirits of the afterlife take to the stage with a mix of rock and pop hits. The live bill features David Kettle, Sophie-Mae Meeson, Laura Clinton, Lizzie Robins and Andy Gray, with DJ Bone Jovi on the decks.
It's a full evening rather than a single show. It starts in the afternoon with Day of the Dead craft workshops run by Art in the Park, then moves into a family Halloween disco, followed by a two-set live concert, and closes with an Afterlife Party Disco to see the night out. There's facepainting on the door, and fancy dress is encouraged, so it's the kind of thing you can bring the kids to for the crafts and the disco, and then stick around for the live music.
