Kick off Halloween weekend at Freaky Frist Friday!

Join us on October 30, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m., for a freakishly fantastic evening at the Frist where the strange will become spectacular, and the beautifully bizarre will take center stage. Rumor has it the ghosts of our historically haunted building are ready for a party. Come join them after dark, if you dare!
