For the second year in a row, Project Refocus and Wolfpack Promotionals will host an outdoor Halloween bash at the Capri Theater in north Minneapolis. KB Brown, the event organizer, grew up on the north side and moved his custom printing business to the neighborhood in 2016.
Last year, Brown organized the first Northside Halloween party at the same location and it was well-received by the community. "I can’t describe the feeling, it’s joyful. To hear kids screaming, having fun with no worries," Brown said.
But this party is about more than candy and costumes — it's also a voter registration event. The nonprofit "Souls to the Polls" will be there to register votes and help them find their polling places on election day. Standing outside the Capri Theater on west Broadway, Brown stressed the importance of voting and representation. "One of my elders said, 'If you don’t vote, shut up'," said Brown.
