Sure, Halloween weekend isn’t for another week. But do you know what Halloween weekend doesn’t have? Seventy-degree weather. So if you want to give your shorts their final outing of the year and remain in the All Hallow’s Eve spirit, the Bay View Neighborhood Association has just the thing.
The Pumpkin Pavilion at Humboldt Park is back. Technically, it's been back for two nights already, with gourd-carving going down Wednesday and Thursday of this week. But the real party lights up tonight at 7 p.m., along with the pumpkins themselves, and goes through Saturday. Here’s the rundown:

- 7:30 p.m. — The Exotics spy/surf band
- 8:15 p.m. — Burgermeister Magic Show
- Plus fire twirlers, beer and food trucks
Saturday, Oct. 22
