VERSUS — the parent company behind Castas Rum Bar, Morris American Bar and HEIST — has teamed up with Maryland’s legendary screamfest Markoff’s Haunted Forest to host Haunted HEIST, a nightlife takeover of Markoff’s spooky “Town.”
Following the last trail tour on October 31, guests will enter Haunted HEIST, a one-night bash with a DJ and themed cocktails featured at the many bars set up throughout the space.
This year’s haunted trail marks the longest trail in Markoff’s 27-year history. Patrons should expect more scares, twists, turns and epic scenes that will leave you trembling, while Haunted HEIST represents the first onsite nightlife collaboration since Markoff’s inception.
“I grew up going to Markoff’s Haunted Forest, so it’s really fun to see a part of my childhood come full circle with this unique partnership,” says Versus principal Vinoda Basnayake.
HEIST is known for reimagining nightlife through innovative concepts in unique settings: This summer, it took the nightclub to Washington’s iconic arts venue, the Kennedy Center, for eight weekends. Previous pop-ups have taken place at SXSW, Austin City Limits festival and Preakness Stakes. Haunted HEIST, however, will be uniquely spooky – after their terrifying turn through the forest, guests can settle in at VIP tables or visit a series of dressed-up bars in the forest to try all the cocktails created just for Haunted HEIST. Tickets include access to the event and drink tickets to be redeemed at Markoff’s. Tickets are limited to 250 people. Roundtrip bus transportation from Dupont Circle to Markoff’s will be available and included in ticket price.
Haunted HEIST (19120 Martinsburg Road, Dickerson, MD, 20842) will take place October 31. For more information and to reserve tables or purchase tickets, please visit hauntedheist.com.
Inspired by the bustling open-air night markets of East and Southeast Asia, Peter Chang of DC’s No Kings Collective creative agency and Events DC are teaming up to create the first annual REDEYE Night Market on November 6 in Washington, DC. REDEYE will occupy four blocks of Pennsylvania Avenue NW from 3rd through 7th Streets NW and bring together over 50 treasured local vendors to showcase an array of food and beverages like one might find at a night market abroad, including Filipino pastries, Taiwanese shaved ice, bao and Korean fried chicken. In addition to sampling signature dishes from celebrated local restaurants including Incheon, Tiger Fork, Maketto, China Chilcano, Thip Khao, Nihao, attendees will enjoy cultural and musical performances throughout the evening. Admission is free of charge with food and beverages available for purchase.
The REDEYE, set for 4 pm to 11 pm, is intended to serve as a celebration of Washington, DC’s rich AAPI community and to acknowledge the challenges and economic disenfranchisement that impacted small businesses across the nation in the past year.
“This past year was especially challenging for the AAPI community, as well as for the food industry. The REDEYE is a celebration of what we are overcoming together,” says Chang.
“The REDEYE Night Market is an incredible opportunity to celebrate our city’s diversity and showcase DC’s dynamic hospitality offerings,” said Greg O’Dell, president and CEO of Events DC. “We are thrilled to bring together residents, visitors and the AAPI community for an exceptional experience of authentic cuisine and culture from some of DC’s most well-known restaurateurs and performers.”

The third “For the Love of D.C.” concert highlights the future of D.C.’s dynamic go-go movement. Guests will enjoy an immersive experience celebrating the next wave of go-go music and its cultural impact on the District.
The event gives go-go fans and avid music lovers the opportunity to learn more about D.C.’s culturally rich genre and showcase what those unique sounds mean to the city and the entire DMV region.
Local comedian Mckenton Russell will host the evening, featuring live performances from the city’s favorite go-go bands including TCB, New Impressionz, TOB, Made Sessions, and The Made Band. There will also be a go-go market featuring merchandise and themed swag from local vendors like MadeInTheDMV’s Angela Byrd.
In recognition of the importance of go-go and its role in DC’s local economy and culture, Events DC established the Go-Go Industry Relief Fund designed to support go-go-related programming in the District. Totaling $1 million dollars, the program provided direct payments to qualifying go-go bands and artists as well as grants for in-studio performances and concert production. Bounce Beat + Beyond is one of the final events stemming from the Fund.
The keepers of the go-go culture are nothing if not resilient. They’ve continually reinvented ways to stay relevant as the local music scene shifts. Today, the genre is reasserting itself into the District’s bloodstream.
And we, the allies championing its cause, know it can be so much more. Our community’s continued love of go-go is a great sign for the future, and now is the time to build on it. Don’t miss our celebration of this iconic genre on November 21.
