There is nothing scarier on Halloween then a visit to the Girl’s Costume Aisle.

Year after year, a growing, multi-billion dollar industry costumes girls, boys, women and men in sexist, racist costumes.

This year Hillhurst United Church and Urban Curvz Theatre; are partnering together to create an event that offers an alternative to this terrifying trend. Take Back Halloween offers an unparalleled Halloween Party that is not only uniquely creative and fun but also promotes the opportunity for all genders to make and wear costumes that are empowering, clever and diverse.

Join us for a feminist costume contest*, special live performances from awesome feminists, candy, popcorn, and screening of the acclaimed film – “Wonder Women – The Untold Story of Superheroines!

Suggested for Ages 13+

Proceeds will go to the Women’s Centre of Calgary.

* Be creative and brave. Feminist costumes do not appropriate cultures, are not racist, and are not misogynistic while at the same time are not slut-shaming.
Prizes to the top 3- show us your wits!
