Scratch your standard Halloween festivities and join Russell House Tavern and Del Maguey Mezcal for a Dia de Los Muertos party in the heart of Harvard Square. In honor of the ancient Mexican tradition of celebrating the dearly departed, legendary Boston mixologist Misty Kalkofen and Bar Manager Sam Gabrielli will be serving up handcrafted mezcal cocktails alongside spirited munchies from chef Tom Borgia. The celebration, which starts at 9:00pm on Thursday, October 31st, costs $27.37 per person (including processing fees as well as two cocktails, a flight of Del Maguey mezcals, and plenty of passed hors d’oeuvres). Reserve tickets online and follow the path of marigold petals right to Russell House.
