Dark Listening Sessions - Alice Cooper’s Welcome To My Nightmare @ Captain Pabst Pilot House, 7:30 p.m.
Also, Black Sabbath’s debut album Black Sabbath on Friday and on Saturday, Metallica’s Black Album and costume contest.
“It’s well documented that when you remove or lose one or more of our senses, the other senses compensate,” said Captain Pabst Pilot House General Manager Adam Powers. “Similar to the concept of ‘dark dining,’ where the sense of taste is heightened by eating in complete darkness, we hope to give people the most immersive, detailed and visceral rock sound experience possible.”
COVID-19 guidelines will be observed for these events.
Riverside Theater Ghost Tours @ Riverside Theater 6 p.m. (Also Friday and Saturday)
The Riverside Theater is best known for two things: amazing shows and being one of the most haunted places in Wisconsin. Over the past 91 years, reports of paranormal activity have been a regular occurrence between the catastrophic fires of the 1960s, massive floods and many mysterious tales from those who have lived and died here. Here is the unique opportunity to learn more about the behind-the-scenes paranormal activity encountered by staff, patrons and professional ghost hunters.
