Get ready for an incredible evening at Monroe Symphony Orchestra’s brand-new Halloween fundraising event, SkeleTUNES on Tower! This is no ordinary night—it’s a thrilling blend of the hauntingly beautiful Halloween-themed music, performed live by a talented volunteer orchestra. Just imagine hearing some of the most iconic Halloween music surrounded by costumed skeletons (some towering over twelve feet). This outdoor concert is on Saturday, October 26th, 2024, 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm! It's going to be an unforgettable experience!

And here’s a treat for families: there will be a costume contest for children 12 and under, plus a special category for the best-costumed family! So, bring your little ghouls and ghosts—it’s a family-friendly event you won’t want to miss.


Did you know that the Monroe Symphony Orchestra has a volunteer Board of Directors? 


The event will take place at the roundabout, nestled between Newk’s Eatery and CC's Coffee on Tower Drive, this one-of-a-kind event is the perfect way to celebrate Halloween with friends and family. Here’s how you can join the fun and support the Monroe Symphony Orchestra:

For just $25, bring a chair, sit back, and enjoy the spooky vibes. Want to gather a crew? For $100, you can snag a Sleepy Hollow table with eight chairs. The best part? You can order your food from Newk’s Eatery, and they’ll have it ready in the Grab-N-Go! Plus, 10% of your food purchase will go right back to the Symphony—talk about eating for a cause. By the way, you can BYO wine! 

If you're feeling fancy, grab a Premier Trick-or-Treat table for $150. This comes with eight chairs, a bottle of red wine, a bottle of white wine, and a Newk’s Eatery charcuterie board! Now that’s how you do Halloween in style.

And the treats don't stop there! CC’s Coffee will be extending their hours, so you can sip on some spooktacular, festive drinks until 8 PM. Also, if you can't attend, you can still make plans to eat at Newk’s Eatery from 5 to 8 PM, with 10% of your order supporting the Monroe Symphony Orchestra’s mission. 





As part of their 53rd season, this Halloween event is not just about spooky cool vibes—it's dedicated to supporting the arts, honoring the talented musicians who make it all happen, and raising essential funds to sustain top-notch symphonic music. To ensure exceptional artistic quality, the Symphony pays musicians and conductors for their performances, so fundraisers like this are key to continuing their amazing programming. (Season Brochure)
