Skinful Halloween Returns After Six-Year Hiatus with Method Man & Redman

Last update: 8/19/19

After a six-year hiatus, the mythical Skinful Halloween party will make its long-awaited return to the Holy City on Saturday, October 26th, 2019 with headline performances from legendary rappers Method Man and Redman. The celebration is being held in the Charleston Woodlands, a 6,000-acre nature reserve  in West Ashley.

Mix Master Mike, DJ QBERT, The Dubplates will also perform at the event. Organizers say many more acts will be announced at a later date. Tickets for Skinful Halloween go on sale Monday, August 19th at noon. According to the Charleston City Paper, which is handling ticketing for the event, early bird tickets will be $60 and include the ability to camp onsite. Tickets will jump to $75 after the early bird period. There is also a VIP option. The event will benefit Palmetto Community Care and Keepers of the Wild.

After 13 years of throwing epic Halloween parties in the Charleston area, Skinful opted to take a break after the 2013 event was plagued by venue changes amid safety and noise concerns. That planned one-year break kept extending until it seemed the party was never to return – until today’s surprise announcement.

Past editions of the party included burlesque dancers, circus acts, light and lazer shows, hayrides, Urban wakeboarding, and live performances from acts like Flava Flav, Too $hort, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, Chali 2na (of Jurassic 5), and more. There will also be plenty of LED screens so you can see the action.
