Halloween Dance Party at King’s Hardware We here at King’s Hardware are huge fans of scary movies, but we also know there’s nothing scarier than being alone, hungry, and drink-less on Halloween.  That’s why we’ve decided to throw the best Halloween bash on Ballard Avenue (yup, we said it) that’s sure to make zombie makeup run in little grey streams down your cheeks on account of all of the TEARS OF JOY you will most definitely be shedding as you and your closest hundred friends toast the ghosts of Halloween past.

DJ Chris Cab will be spinning spooky tunes all night long and we’ll be serving up hair-raising Halloween drink specials until the wee hours of November.  We will be rocking otherworldly Halloween burgers that will make you howl “bone appetite!” So hit up your favorite BOO-tique and get gussied up (or down) for this year’s Halloween Dance Party at King’s Hardware.
