Freaky Deaky – The Festive Freaks of 2016

Freaky Deaky – The Festive Freaks of 2016

Freaky Deaky 2016 made for one of the best Halloween events in the Midwest. The three day festival was a great mix of costumes and music that was perfect for this festive time of year. Located at Toyota Park just outside of Chicago, this venue hosted a very spooky party full of FREAKS. This well-planned event had a very strong line-up and three stages. There was no shortage of shows to see and there was plenty of delicious food to fill one up between sets. The highlight of the weekend for me was the people. Everyone I came across was warm, welcoming, and in good spirits. There was a lot of bloody make-up and plenty of cool costumes. Below are some pics of a few attendees of Freaky Deaky 2016.

Freaky Deaky was an awesome event and created a great atmosphere where the Freaks let their freak flag fly with cool costumes. There were so many creative ideas; thankfully, I now have costumes ideas for the next decade! It was the perfect fall weather, and the attendees went all-out in preparing their gory get-ups! Big thanks to everyone who let me take their photo! I hope to see you all the inventive costumes at Freaky Deaky next year.

Don’t forget about New Years! If you don’t have your plans nailed down check out Reaction NYE. React Presents is putting on this two day at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. Some of the headliners include Flume, Dillon Francis, Tchami, & Danny Brown on December 30th & Zeds Dead, Gucci Mane, & Tchami on the December 31st, among others.
