The Hillsborough Street Businesses are teaming up with student organizations to create a party similar to the Hillsborough Hike on Halloween Night. From Sadlacks to East Village, businesses will be open and serving alcohol. A $500 prize will be given to the best costume at East Village as well (1:45 am). If you're interested in the costume contest, judges will be placed throughout all the businesses, so be sure to make the entire hike! Lets start a new tradition now...Get the word out, tell all your friends, the Party is in Raleigh this Halloween!" |

its going to be a mini version of the regular hikes.
it'll never be as big as UNC unless they actually close the road down like they do over there. 10/16/2007 4:46:01 PM |

everytime i have been to franklin st i have thought it was lame and not worth it for driving/parking/all the security. if all the ncsu students that went to chapel hill/ecu stayed here we could have a party just as big, and better 10/16/2007 4:46:22 PM |

I'm all for a Hillsborough Halloween, I'm all for any extra life on Hillsborough street. But if anyone's in the chapel hill area for Halloween keep an eye out for megaman (probably going to pick one of the powers from the old bosses and make it a themed megaman, with some friends going as other related characters like rush/protoman/zero or whatever, or I may scrap that idea entirely, just trying to find a cheap costume).
One thing I noticed about the franklin street for Halloween is a lot of people are willing to go all out on these costumes, and a lot of ppl become more comfortable with near nudity are a lot of ppl…
This was my costume last year for franklin street. 10/16/2007 4:46:41 PM |

fine with me, should be shorter waits at places like Mitch's as a result i would suppose
i mean, it's dressing up in a costume and walking around drinking no matter where you do it - this time you just get to do it with wolfpackers

NC86 All American 9134 Posts user info edit post |
get them to close the street.
Make that parking lot across thompkins into a dance area/ dj area with music playing. Get business to offer awesome specials for NCSU students only. Something near the bell tower would be nice too. Like a best costume prize would be announced there. 10/16/2007 4:59:44 PM |

I just suggested to some of my friends that we do it (cause it's too much of a hassle to go to franklin street)
we ended up getting a spot on the EV deck, and there actually were plenty of people out there 10/16/2007 5:36:04 PM |
spro All American 4329 Posts user info edit post |
Nothing was organized last year, it was just people going out to the bars like it was any other night, only in costume
Hopefully most of the "The Hillsborough Street Businesses" mentioned are actually participating and may give it more of a Hike Night Feel
i mean, 690ish people are already 'rsvp'ed to this deal 10/16/2007 5:37:28 PM |

They need to do something for the 18-20 crowd to make this successful. Allow unders in (in costume only, maybe?) and marked with something besides an X and run some virgin drink specials. 10/16/2007 7:03:20 PM |

Franklin Street wasn't shut down from the beginning. It was only when it started getting bigger. I would definitely do a hike on Hillsborough over dealing with getting to Chapel Hill.10/16/2007 8:20:43 PM |

how so?
i mean, it'll likely be just like hike night, only smaller, with people dressed in costume. it's not like anyone's going to be rioting in the streets just b/c its halloween and its not a "usual" hike night10/24/2007 2:04:44 PM |
