Jumbo Circus Peanuts Halloween Bash
Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club 135 Congress Street, Portsmouth, NH, United StatesIt doesn't get any more local than this.

That parade started at South Mill Pond and ended at Vaughan Mall, known these days as Jimmy's back parking lot. Now, some 30 years down the road and for the first time since 2018, the two entities are getting back together for a very special Monday night at Jimmy's with all proceeds going to the PHP. The JCP will be opening their trick or treat bag of funk, soul, and horn-driven rock & roll for a night of dancing and revelry. Costumes are strongly encouraged.
