If you’ve ever been fascinated by the weird, the wonderful, or the downright macabre, this one’s for you. The 4th Annual Nevada City Oddities Show transforms the Miners Foundry into a living museum of curiosity — think taxidermy, bone art, insects, jewelry, and all things delightfully strange.

There’ll be more than 50 vendors, live sideshow acts, workshops (yes, you can learn to mount a beetle), and a bar to sip while you wander through this cabinet of curiosities. It’s equal parts art show and Halloween encore, and it’s one of those “only in Nevada City” experiences you’ll talk about all year.

Get your groove shoes on, because Disco Inferno is back, baby. Expect sequins, bell-bottoms, and beats that’ll have you staying alive on the dance floor all night long. This annual Halloween bash blends costume contest chaos with old-school disco fever — a total blast whether you’re a wallflower or a full-time glitter fiend.

Pro tip: the bar lineup and light show are worth the ticket alone. Come dressed to dazzle, and maybe you’ll snag the prize for best 70s glam resurrection.

For the little goblins (and the parents who want something sweet but not too spooky), the library’s Spooky Boooky event is the perfect way to kick off Halloween. There’ll be stories, crafts, and candy, plus a costume-friendly atmosphere that lets the kids shine without the late-night chaos.

It’s free, community-run, and one of those small-town gems that remind us what makes Nevada County special — simple joys, smiling faces, and the smell of apple cider in the air.
