Lots going on for Halloween in Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove's Halloween is going to be quite busy this year. Events are happening all over.

The Ivy at the Grove (3159 Commodore Plaza) is having a Coconut Grove Halloween Party on October 31, I met the owners Bill and Tim and they are very excited to be part of the Grove. They are offering the first 150 Grapevine readers who email them, one ticket to the party. Please RSVP to Halloween@theivyatthegrove.com, and mention the Coconut Grove Grapevine.

The event will feature drink specials, appetizers and Halloween treats. A costume is not required, but encouraged. All attendees will receive a "thank you" gift for future use at The Ivy.

A portion of the night's proceeds will be donated to the local Coconut Grove Art Stroll.
