In honor of the occasion, Portland Museum is hosting a commemorative exhibit with puppets, photos, props and other memorabilia from the group’s history. At the grand opening, there’ll be a free finger puppet-making workshop, music, a meet and greet with Executive Director Nora Christensen and the Squallis Board of Directors, refreshments, and a “BIG ANNOUNCEMENT” at 8 p.m.

Ghost Hunting 101 Raven’s Roost Boutique $20 | 7:30 p.m. Spooky season might be over, but if there’s something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? Boo 812, a local ghost-hunting society. They’ll teach you how to conduct a real ghost investigation — and then do one as a group.
