all hallows’ eve

This angel lit up the dance floor, literally, at the Q Roadhouse Halloween Party on Saturday.
Four days after most people celebrated it, the actual holiday arrives today with a hint of the spookiness that inspired the original Celtic festival, Samhain. For some 2,000 years, humans have been marking the last harvest, summer’s end, the start of the dark months, with revelry.
While in the past this tradition honored a connection to the dead or the underworld, today the holiday has evolved into an expression of the freakier side of human nature. And in Jackson Hole, the freaks come out on Halloween.
