What’s Happening for Halloween, Beef Bandits & Preserving Philly Arts
Philly does it big with fall festivals, haunted attractions, and costume contests this time of year. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by contributors Conrad Benner of Streets Dept and Jay Vereen, content creator at Wooder Ice, to talk about alternative Halloween events. Plus, they discuss ways to support the city’s arts and creative community, and the recent theft of beef in the city.
