The Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum will host “Halloween Night at the Museum” on  Saturday, Oct. 29 from 7 to 11 p.m.
The affair will feature music by blues band Ruffwater, a smorgasbord of “horror’derves,” witches brew with an open bar, giveaways and a costume contest. First-place winner of the costume contest will receive $100, and prize baskets will be given to second and third place.
“We started this event last year as a spoof of the movie ‘Night at the Museum,'”  Museum Executive Director Robin David said. “It was a well-attended event last year with around 200 in attendance, all in costume. We decided this was a fun museum fundraising event to continue.”
Admission is $30 per person or $50 per couple and is open to adults only. Â A limited number of tickets are available at the museum.
