If your ideal Halloween vibe is less haunted house and more happy chaos with skeletons and glitter involved, you’re in the right place. AfterGlow Alley is a whimsical pop-up playdate where Halloween meets Día de los Muertos in a celebration that’s filled with hands-on fun, creative crafts, and just enough “organized mess” to make it feel like childhood magic again (without destroying your kitchen).

What to Expect:

Kids will explore a series of interactive “shops” and activity zones — each with its own magic twist:

• The Witch’s Kitchen: Whip up glow-in-the-dark Witches Brew slime.

• Spider Web Lab: Mix and fizz your own baking soda spider webs. 

• Ghost Gallery: Create Boo-tiful ghost handprint ornaments to take home.

• Rainbow Creamery: Serve pretend foam ice cream cones, sprinkle party encouraged.

• Fortune Studio: Build your own fortune globe filled with glowing treasures.

• Memory Mantel: Add a photo of a loved one to our glowing tribute wall

• Optional Halloween-themed refreshments will be available for purchase (because parenting deserves snacks too).

It’s colorful, creative, and delightfully un-serious; a night for families to laugh, play, and remember that even spooky season can have a little heart. Costumes welcome, curiosity required.
