Grab your costume, your sweet tooth, and your best spooky cackle, because UpStart Collective is turning into a candy-slinging haunted hallway on October 30th. UpStart Collective is opening the doors for an hour of trick or treating in downtown Portland, and the whole place is about to be crawling with capes, cobwebs, and questionable fake mustaches.
Wander around the 5th floor and see what treats pop out. Expect sugary loot, a few groan-worthy jokes, and the kind of costumes that make you stop and say "wait, is that a sentient taco?" (It might be. Don't ask too many questions.) Dress up as a ghost, a wizard, a houseplant with a grudge, or your own Monday morning self. All outfits are welcome, and the weirder the better.
Bring a bag, a pumpkin bucket, or an oversized tote you've been saving for just this moment. Come hungry for candy, ready to mingle with fellow ghouls, and prepared to trade a few spooky stories along the way. It's a quick hour, so show up on time, eat all the fun-size things, and leave with a stash and a story.
